<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 413213, member: 13650&quot;]Has anybody here ever been working on an album and decided to buy some slabbed coins for the album, and cracked them out to put them in?&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve said in the past I&#039;d never do this but in some instances, with quite large mintages, I don&#039;t really see what it matters.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know people will say it won&#039;t be worth more than it was in the slab but I don&#039;t care.&nbsp;&nbsp; First of all, I&#039;d like to take a slab apart and then also, study the coin in hand, knowing that PCGS or NGC has graded it &quot;x&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I recently bought a couple nice BU Franklin halves.&nbsp; A MS-63 FBL in an NGC holder and a MS-63 FBL in a PCGS holder.&nbsp; They&#039;re not high dollar coins.&nbsp; But they do look really nice and I want to look at these and see what both of these companies classifies as FBL&#039;s in order to help me judge for myself on ungraded ones, what&#039;s actually a FBL coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then, put them in my Intercept Shield album and save the holders.&nbsp; I really don&#039;t see the harm in it. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; My other question is....&nbsp; Do you guys ever purchase a certain type of coin, maybe a cheaper version, that you leave out to look at, hold in hand, without fear of damage?&nbsp;&nbsp; It seems like whenever I get something, I&#039;m only concerned with not touching it, holdering it asap, and storing it before any damage is done. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; Sometimes I&#039;ve considered buying some just to have, leave out and not worry about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
