<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 351319, member: 68"]I would suggest that in the short term it depends on how you want to display or view your coins. If you want to see them as collections of nickels or dollars then, by all means, cut them out and put the sets together. If you prefer sets of the denominations all together by date then keep them intact. Someday there will be a premium for intact sets but even then there will be a larger premium for nice coins and varieties. The coins do go bad in the original packaging and this loss may well greatly exceed the premium for intact sets. </p><p><br /></p><p>The cents are the worst with the '68 leading the pack. The '69 sets go bad very easily and some of the '70's do. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not especially concerned with the set premium though I do have a set of gem mint sets that I keep in a bank with enviromental control.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
