<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 25529471, member: 92655"]Older I get I find myself fretting more and more about this lifetime glut of coins I have. I have kidded before on here about my collection being scattered about three safes and a safe deposit box (not to mention the office coins).... One of my safes is dedicated to Whitman's & Dansco's.... All are complete, mostly with very average coins, but my Lincoln book has the 09-S, VDB. The Merc book has the 16-D and 42/41... It's a true lifetime accumulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, last time I was at my LCS, he had a young fellow disassembling Dansco's that he had purchased from a liquidated collection.

Would you disassemble books if liquidation was in your future and have the key dates slabbed? Or would you leave it as is?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
