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.
leave it be, there has never been a WAM found in the Cheerios packaging, and it would have to grade pretty high to justify the slabbing costs. And you would have to send it in in the Cheerios packaging to get the Cheerios label. Take it out of the packaging and you would get no label and it would have to grade even higher to justify the slabbing cost.
