<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2075027, member: 69760&quot;]Watching shows like Antiques Roadshow and Pawn Stars (e.g. collectible toys, specifically for the latter) got me to thinking... in say 100 years from now, if you had a coin from the mint in a hard plastic capsule, with the original box and in mint condition, how much value will that add&nbsp; in terms of its collectible value? This is compared to a standalone coin that is in, say, an airtite of the same grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, different coins have different values, and this is just a relative measure. It may also offer good presentation, but I find that boxes are bulky and they just take up room. Is it a good idea to keep the boxes? Would you think that &quot;original packaging&quot; significantly increases the value, or just nominally?</p><p><br /></p><p>I also understand that some light plastic packaging (2nd pic) may not be as valuable as something like what&#039;s below (1st pic). Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>Referring to this:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pleasantcoins.com/media/2012AESFSet" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But not this (I&#039;m sure there&#039;s collectible value here with original packaging kept in tact, just not referring to this):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.iccoin.com/images/USMintSet1975.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
