<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2063746, member: 19165&quot;]Why on earth would crack beautiful coins out of nice protective slabs that are also professionally appraised and highly liquid? Why would you then proceed to place them in Air-Tites - which, despite the name, are definitely not airtight, and definitely not appraised, and definitely not liquid? I am all for &quot;buy the coin, not the holder,&quot; (I chant that mantra constantly) but if you&#039;ve already bought the holder, why would you destroy that investment? When it comes time to sell, I think you will find that you have lost a lot of money (or, will need to resubmit, which again costs a lot of money). Like it or not, either you or your heirs will need to sell at some point. </p><p><br /></p><p>I could even (sort of, but not really), understand if you were putting them in a really nice album or Capitol plastics display - but you aren&#039;t. They are just sitting in unattractive Airtites. </p><p><br /></p><p>To the posters cracking out moderns: that is even worse. Absolutely the entire premium for a modern graded coin lies in the plastic. That seems like a particularly foolhardy waste of money. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not trying to step on anyone&#039;s toes or offend anyone, I just truly think that cracking out coins like this is (almost always) a mistake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
