Should I open these sets?

    Do you think it would be ok to open up these sets to add them to an album? I have the steel pennies and uncirculated sets of 2000 to present in P and D. I also have 2 S proof sets for a couple of years (also in the 2000's). I've heard that the proof sets don't have a lot of value. While I would not crack open any that I only have one of, I have multiples of a couple. I also have one proof and one silver proof for a few years.

    Thoughts on opening them up so I can add the pennies to an album?

    (pictured is the 1989 proof set, but the ones I would open up are in the 2000's)

    why not open them..I do it because most of the time its cheaper than buing the coins individually.

    Still interested in more opinions.

    And another question. If I break open one of the hard shell cases, but only have a spot for the penny, what do I do with the other coins to keep them safe?

    I take apart Mint sets all the time. I keep the proof sets intact.

    What would you do about the empty proof spots in an album of pennies?

    Buy some Saflips to store the other coins.
