<p>[QUOTE="d.t.menace, post: 1157808, member: 18944"]Just a note here. The only commems that are in the pilofilm (which, I assume you mean by vacuum packed) are some of the 80's uncirculated halfs. The uncirculated dollars all are in capsules like the proofs. I wouldn't worry too much about removing them from the plastic, they're not worth that much to begin with and you' re not giong to lose much value on them out of the mint packaging.</p><p> I'll also add my preference is also the uncirculated versions of modern commems. I just like the look of them more than proofs. You also don't have to worry as much about the hazing problems that come with a lot of the proofs. Although a couple of my uncirculated ones that have a more prooflike finish show a little bit of haze it's not as noticable as a hazy proof. The ones with the more satiny finish show no haze at all. </p><p> I probably won't ever see the plus side of the lower mintages of uncirculateds if they do increase in value, but I like to think that maybe my kids or future grandkids might reap those benefits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
