Going through a collection for my wife’s friend They don’t seem to have much value. Unless it’s a WAM, Wide AM or gets a 65+ grade Does she pop it out or leave it be? I should have started a poll
I've got 2 in the package like that.. leave em be.. if it was wide AM or had a great chance at 65+ maybe.. but they hold more value in the original packaging then slabbed at lower grades
I think most of us who were collecting at the time probably saved one or two of those. I cannot tell you how many boxes of cheerios I ate hoping to find one of the first Sacagawea's. Now those are worth something!
From what I understand, if you pop it out of that package then it essentially loses all value (except for one cent, obviously). There's supposedly no telling those pennies apart from the run-of-the-mill penny, so that packaging is doing the heavy lifting there. I certainly vote on the "leave it be" option.
