<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2442765, member: 80121&quot;]I use the following: if the coin is moderately to highly collectable, I save everything that came with the OGP. If it&#039;s just an average coin the has bullion value and is graded and not likely to go up much in the future I chuck the packaging. I may live to regret this, but the OGP just takes up so much more room than just the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m old school and coins just used to come in a small cardboard box, if even that. Look at Chinese gold and silver Pandas, they come in a capsule incased in a sealed plastic baggy. (for gold they put the baggy in a small cardboard box)</p><p><br /></p><p>If the US mint would take a break with the fancy packaging, then maybe they could lower the cost of the coins they sell. Look at the recent gold Mercury dime, they sold $127 worth of gold for $205, and I&#039;m sure part of that price was for the fancy box and packaging it came in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
