[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 635993, member: 4230"]I know this debate rages on for the coin collectors ... do i free it from its tomb ... or do i leave it in the safest evironment it could possibly find.... I have recently come across a lot of notes that were all pretty common, pretty low grade ... but slabbed none the less. The notes fall in the 20PPQ, 25PPQ and 30PPQ grades. My thoughts were to cut them open and store them in a binder desiged specificaly for this series. They are not rare. They are not choice unc, so any additional bend or fold wont kill any later sale. If i were to sell these notes right now, only without the slabs - the notes would not sell for anything less that what i bought them for (taking market fluctuations into account of course ;)). I honestly dont even know why these notes were slabbed to begin with!!!! So what say you? would you free a common note that is slabbed? what about a rare note that is slabbed but would fit your storage solution better if it was freed? if and when you ever do cut open a slabbed note... what then? do you mail the label back to the slabber to have its number removed from any database? or just toss it since its a common note anyway?[/QUOTE]
