<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sewjr24, post: 810636, member: 23149&quot;]Continuing to dig through the box of coins my uncle left me. I see that he ordered quite a few coins from Littleton over the years. Many are still in the little plastic Littleton Coin Co packets (see picture for example). Most of the older ones like the Indian Cents and Buffalo nickels are obviously circulated but most are in good condition. But many of the more modern coins are in brilliant condition and are actually labled on the little packets as uncirculated (UNC) or proofs. I&#039;m no coin grader, but all of these coins look brand new like they&#039;ve never been touched by human hands (as they should since they&#039;ve been sealed in these little packets for who knows how long). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My question is how should I handle these coins? Should I open them up and rescue them from these little packets and maybe place them in something else? Or is it better to just leave them alone and sealed in these little packets? I&#039;m sort of new to this and these coins look so pristine.....I don&#039;t want to risk mishandling any of them and end up doing more harm than good. I&#039;m not worried about the obviously circulated coins.....those I am sure are safe to remove from the packets and place into an album or something. Any suggestions?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s the list so far of the uncirculated and proof coins I have found in these little individual Littleton packets:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1951-D Lincoln Cent - Unc.</p><p>1955-S Lincoln Cent - Unc. (pictured)</p><p>1963 Lincoln Cent - Proof</p><p>1969-S Lincoln Cent - Proof</p><p>1962 Roosevelt Dime - Proof</p><p>1960-D Roosevelt Dime - Unc.</p><p>1959 Washington Quarter - Unc.</p><p>1962 Washington Quarter - Proof</p><p>1979-S SBA Dollar - Unc.</p><p>1979-P SBA Dollar - Unc.</p><p>1979-D SBA Dollar - Unc.</p><p>1978-D Eisenhower Dollar - Unc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
