<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ranchhand, post: 56029, member: 2622&quot;]I think that the phrase &quot;buy the coin not the holder&quot; applies more to slabbed coins... I for one would rather have the complete packaging intact and in the best shape possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is for when i am specifically purchasing a set as a &quot;Set&quot; and not for breaking out or completing an album...</p><p><br /></p><p>for example i have several 1996 mint sets ( for the Roosevelt dime ) I purchased 2 specifically to break the dime out of the packaging and send it in for grading, in that case i could have cared less about the condition of the packaging...</p><p><br /></p><p>I 5 other sets that i specifically have as a &quot;set&quot; and i made sure to purchase ones that where in great/mint condition as a whole, packaging as well as coins...</p><p><br /></p><p>It really matters what specifically you are collecting ( mint sets or the individual coins )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
