<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7937399, member: 105098&quot;]My opinion, whether you keep the labels on them or not is a personal preference, it doesn&#039;t necessarily add provenance to the slab, Heritage has sold fake slabbed coins also and not caught it, it&#039;s an auction house, they do their best to not let counterfeits or modified coins slip by, but they do from time to time.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;if you can use the numbers for organization and you find it useful, keep them on the slabs, if you don&#039;t that&#039;s fine too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say this, each of those numbers can be searched on the HA site and it is in fact a purchase record of sorts, as well as pictures, so I&#039;d suggest whether you keep them on the slabs or not, you at least catalog the number and what it was, in case of theft or loss, or if you wanted nice pictures when you go to sell them later, if you decided to sell them later. always good to have records of your collection in case something happens, and the more info the better. </p><p>the HA number is useful for a few reasons, where the slab number might not show the actual coin on a look up. They have a decent database of past auctions, so that number if searched will pop up what it is and the pictures from the auction, and all the info on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t find that useful, that&#039;s fine too. it&#039;s your collection you can do whatever you like,&nbsp; even crack them out and carry them as pocket pieces.</p><p>but no, Heritage selling it in one of their auctions, don&#039;t make it any more or less legit, it&#039;s not a certification or opinion, they just sold it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
