i have a bunch of american silver eagles that i want to put in an album but some of them i got from littleton and are in plastic packages there unc. would it ruin the value of the coin if i took them out?ill post some pictures if u dont no what i mean about the packages thanks steve
I don't think it would hurt the value, but I could be wrong. I personally would like to see some pics. I love ASE's. Phoenix
Who knows what coins Littleton truly put in a plastic wrapper tho? If it were teh original mint package, that would be different, but Littleton removes teh ASEs from original mint packages and puts the ASEs in their own wrapper
While we're on the subject of Littleton, why didn't they do their intro offer thing this year where you can get the ASE's for way less than spot?
yeah the ones i have say littleton on them but i have bought a chinese panda off them once that came in this ari tite plastic pacage and the coin was it one of the round plastic airtite holders im leaving that in there
i have no clue but im not buying my ase from them any more cause there charging 26 BUCKS!!!!!!!! for one i could get it from other places for 16 they r gettin way to expensive and i dont like it
Taking them out of the Littleton package won't decrease value. But I started a thread about albums recently. And some people have said the albums themselves are not good ways to store your coins.
Did you know that used to be one of the recommended ways to get a coin into an album - with a hammer ? It was - some still do it
No, I didnt know that, but putting coins in some of those old Whitman folders I felt I could have used a hammer sometimes. Thats just enough to turn your stomach though, thinking that someone out there is placing their coins in their folder with a claw hammer. I bet those rims look nice!!
Still, it still seems pretty primitive, cloth or not, to put coins in a folder with a hammer, it doesnt matter what kind of hammer. If someone is going to spend the time and money building a collection you would think they would take a little more care in how they are storing them and spend a little extra on an album. I hope no one supports this type of procedure. :kewl:
