<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2857280, member: 1765&quot;]There are plenty of instances in which it is a good idea, plenty in which it is a bad idea, and plenty in which it matters not.&nbsp; It really depends on the coin.&nbsp; The whole &quot;conservative grading&quot; thing has been played out, although I do have two $5 Libs that are locks for higher grades (45s that should be 53).&nbsp; Haven&#039;t bothered, since I&#039;m not selling them at this time.&nbsp; If the holder is in bad shape and can&#039;t be restored, reholder it.&nbsp; I won&#039;t buy a coin I can&#039;t see through the plastic, and a dealer that tries selling such a coin loses a several reputation points.&nbsp; Old, red and red-brown copper benefits from old holders because it shows the coin is stable, but if the holder is beat up, it&#039;s still a deal breaker.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a particular coin in mind, post it here, and you&#039;ll get more specific advice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
