Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 287565, member: 4552"]I presently have 10 sets of Mercury Dimes in Whitman Classic Albums. All complete including 16D's, 42/41, 42D/41, etc. Some coins were purchased in slabs. All were removed from the slabs and placed in the Albums. A Whitman classic Album has a sheet of paper in the front of the slotted page more of an adveritsement than anything else. I take any slabbed coin's sticker info out when I take the coin out of the slab and tape in to that page. Only a small amount of tape though in case I want to move that coin and that discription to another Album. If and when I get a higher grade coin that should be in Album #1, I move the one in #1 to #2, from #2 to #3, etc. I also move any such info pieces from the slab with the coins. Lots of work but that way I can tell if any of the coins were ever graded. I do this for my own information and have no intension of ever selling any coins so in or out of a slab is of no interest for me. If in the future someone inherits this mess and spends all these in vending machines, I'll never know. My suggestion is take all coins out of slabs and enjoy a collection, not a pile of plastic.[/QUOTE]
