Littleton Co. Packaging

I see that Littleton was just sold to some party. It reminded me, that I still have some coins from them. They were purchased when I first started collecting. Didn't know any better then. My question is: should I leave the coins untouched, in thier plastic labeled packaging? They have a general grade assigned to them. I believe the grade should be close to a submitted coin?
I do have some nice assorted U.S. Coins from them. I'd like to submit to a grading service. Leave it in wrapping, or put in a flip holder? Thank you all.

Littleton was sold to its employees.

I would guess their cellophane-like packaging baggies were designed for economy in shipping; I would not count on them being archival quality.

 

TPGS will want them in flips when you submit

 

Thanks for posting that. Two things impressed me: 300 employees (a lot of people?) and 10.8 years average length of employment. (sounds like a good place to work)

 

Location probably plays a bit of a role too being in NH. I think that county has a population of like 6k. Sounds like one of those places where people stay at their jobs for a long time

 

Littleton is Northern NH and you're right in that those people are probably lucky to even have that job as in that area as it's very sparse job wise. In fact it's very sparse anything wise, it's like night and day from Southern NH to Northern NH and Southern NH isn't exactly bustling to begin with.

 

That makes even more sense that it's in the northern part. I can't imagine you can really change careers up there without moving. Makes sense how the sale stayed in the community too

 

Little to no relationship between a Littleton grade and a TPG grade. Someone wanting a graded coin will put no weight in a Littleton grade.

 

I understand Condor. Thanks everyone for your kind response.

 

Sorry. Conder 101.

 

NH is one of those places that is just nice because people are not Massholes(name for Massachusetts drivers in surrounding states) and it is pretty there. Falls are wonderful.

 

It's the getting up afterward that sucks.

 

Lol if you say so, I've lived in NH for about 20 years now, but I was born in Mass and most my family is Massholes. And Fall in New England in general is only wonderful for tourists and leaf peepers.

 

Don't trip. See ya in the fall.

 

Hey hey - "Love that Dirty Water, Boston you're my town"

 

I live just across the CT river from Littleton, in VT. Littleton coin has always had a good reputation in the community. You have to be very strong and flexible to live here.

 

LCC outmarkets the best, could challenge any industry, but their prices are unrealistic.
