<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2130957, member: 71338"]Is it worth grading? Not too familiar with their proofs, but if it's modern with a relatively high mintage (ie in comparison with other proofs from the country or with world coins in general) you might be better off using the grading fees on purchasing more coins. As far as taking it out, sure why not. I've had similar thoughts that leaving US mint state coins in their cellophane package might help others believe it is in fact uncirculated, especially if there are contact marks that resemble wear. As for proofs (a different strike usually quite apparent), there usually isn't confusion about a coin not being a proof once it's removed. The only thing that matters is how much imperfections or handling marks are on it, and this is with the coin either way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
