<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 38831, member: 68&quot;]It&#039;s a tough call for many collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There may be a set premium to these coins someday which will be lost if you cut them out.&nbsp; By the same token the coins will eventually trade on their own merits. If a set has many gems it will be worth more than a set with all junk.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This being said the coins in these sets are actually worth more out of the packages than inside of them now.&nbsp; If you add up the roll prices and the cost to assemble rolls from mint sets you&#039;ll see you can nearly buy the sets at retail and profit selling the rolls at wholesale.&nbsp; This may not be wise to attempt since profits are small and markets change.&nbsp; There is a great deal of work and learning also since many of the mint set coins are too poor quality to sell at wholesale.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If your primary concern is the coins then your best bet may well be to cut them out and stabilize them in acetone before placing into good holders.&nbsp; Some of the coins from mint sets are all ruined.&nbsp; Look at the 1968-P cents, they are all ruined.&nbsp; There are several others in bad shape too from &#039;69 halfs to &#039;84-D cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
