<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 5254082, member: 77413&quot;]Take a deep breath and go for it! Mix up your set any way you want. Somebody else, namely NOT YOU, decided for you what holes to fill. Maybe some of those holes are not important to you. I consider my Lincoln set complete, for example, even though that 1922 No-D slot is still empty. Why should I fill it when Philadelphia did not strike any of them?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here I not only mix proofs (Barber, Kennedies) and business strikes but I had the audacity to flip some over!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Seriously, though, I had the same exact problem. I have two slabbed Proof 3 cent pieces and I bought a business strike to go in the album. In other cases I had no problems breaking slabs for the album. In most cases they are coins I considered under graded, or with Details grades that I consider questionable. I hedged my bets by assuming anything I broke out would regrade the same or higher if I resubmitted. I didn’t feel comfortable that the 3 cent proofs would meet that test, so I kept them as-is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had the same problem with a 1909-S Lincoln - I left the MS65 RB CAC in the slab and got another one for the album. Now I may sell the slabbed one and end up with a better coin overall and money in my pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1219176[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
