<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 5253965, member: 92655&quot;]OK.... Actually two moral quandaries. I have assembled a lot of Whitman’s and Dansco’s over the years and I can say that I deeply loathe empty holes in catalogs. Last year I decided to put together a two cent and three cent nickel Dansco. My goal is truly to plug the holes and upgrade over the years because it’s a good looking set and I think it could keep me busy for the foreseeable future.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the holes in the Dansco are filled with exception of 1884, 1885, 1887, and 1888 three cent. If you know the series, you know those years are quite pricey as business strikes but very affordable as proofs. Would it be a sin to use proofs in a business strike set?</p><p><br /></p><p>Second moral dilemma.... I cannot break a slab. Oh I have tried... But it would be easier for me to scratch the paint on my car. I just can’t do it. I have asked sellers with slabbed coins to break them out for me when I buy them..... Yes, that is pretty silly. But I just cannot do it. Second moral question.... Is it a sin to free proof three cent nickels from their slab to complete a Dansco?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
