<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 7641226, member: 13650&quot;]You must not like the Lighthouse slab album I posted above in post #23.&nbsp;&nbsp; These give you flexibility to expand without being limited to a Dansco or something else that physically touches the coins and can tone them.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The Intercept Shield album is the only option I would use if I had to do a set of unslabbed anything.&nbsp; I still use one for Buffalo nickels.&nbsp; I know so many people are in love with Danscos but they don&#039;t make them anymore.&nbsp; There&#039;s got to be a reason for that and it&#039;s probably because they&#039;re outdated and not made of favorable materials which cause unwanted toning.&nbsp; They don&#039;t even have plastic slides to protect MS coins from getting finger prints on them.&nbsp;&nbsp; IMO, the stuffs to valuable to use a cheap album.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; A US Type set is an expensive proposition and the most value a coin can have is being left in a slab.&nbsp; I know you stated you don&#039;t care but if you&#039;re seriously going to dive into a type set, you probably don&#039;t want to crack out over half of it.&nbsp; Most stuff is not as common or in as good of shape as Morgans.&nbsp; &nbsp; For example just having a trade dollar certified as genuine is important.&nbsp; &nbsp; Many pieces are very hard to come by, straight graded (not cleaned) in ANY grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There&#039;s been a lot of stories on here over the years and I&#039;ve read more than one of people regretting cracking coins out.&nbsp;&nbsp; It costs over $30 a piece to get stuff slabbed using the cheapest option these days.&nbsp; It&#039;s like burning $30 cracking anything out and throwing away the protection that someone else paid for.&nbsp; I just can&#039;t advise it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
