<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2284453, member: 71723&quot;]There is no one proper way to store coins. High end material needs to be handled fundamentally differently from lower end pieces. Copper needs a different treatment from silver or gold. Slabs are a good start but not sufficient by themselves. Coins change inside slabs more than many people realize.</p><p><br /></p><p>Question: Does the rule &quot;buy the coin, not the holder&quot; really apply to 1940&#039;s-1950&#039;s double mint set coins? If so, why does a fully slabbed (NGC) 1956 double mint set sell for 1/4 the price of the same coins in the original paper? [Based on results of the Stacks Bowers Baltimore Whitman sale.]</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought the whole set, with the Highland Collection provenance, for $122, including all fees and shipping, all the coins with classic double mint set toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
