<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 125339, member: 4552"]First of all it's your collection and always do as you want with what is yours. As to the pros and cons. If you ever plan on selling anything from a Proof or Uncirc set then note the following. If you take a pile of junk of a car to a junk yard you'll get abaout $30 to $40 for it. They will in turn sell all the parts for thousands. Same is true at coin shows. Buy a complete set of anything and it is just so much but if you try to buy all the coins in that same set separately, you'll see about 5 times the cost. The smart thing is to just order a lot of sets from the Mint and take some apart for albums and keep the rest. I usually buy 20 proof sets and 20 Uncirc sets from the Mint each year. I give about 10 away as Christmas Presents, open about 5 for albums and put the rest in this one, now becoming to heavy to lift, box. </p><p>I suggest you buy several sets, open as many as you want for albums, keep at least one or more or send extras to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
