Busting Coins Out Of Holders?

I basically use Albums for all my coins. Almost all are Whitman Classic Albums. When I purchase a coin in a slab, out it comes for a place in my Albums. Regardless of what it is graded as, it's value, authenticity, etc. out it comes for an Album. I occationally keep the little info pieces from the slab for my own information. Since I never sell coins, don't plan on selling coins, it really makes no difference about the loss of a coin being in a slab. I like the idea of opening an Album and seeing ALL the coins in the order they are intended to be in. For me slabs just take up to much space and again, with no intension of selling a coin, slabs are just a waste of space to me.
The important thing to remember about slabs is if in the future you plan on selling a coin, if in a slab it will always bring a higher price. Not for all coins but for any that are the usual counterfeited ones a slab makes it's authenticity a bit more reliable.

I echo the above responses. If you plan on selling them, keep them in the slabs as this will increase their liquidity and value. If your a collector pure and simple, then cracking the slabs is fine. Personally, I dont like seeing my coins in slabs - they greatly reduce my enjoyment of the coins.

Wow thanks for all of the great answers! When I started I opted for the 2x2s in binders because it seemed like a safer solution for the coins. I've never used the albums, but I picture the coins clankin against each other everytime you open and close the book. I picture them eventually falling out. I picture somone looking at them with the book open on their lap and talking and micro spit balls falling all over them. I picture someone poking at them with their fingers. I picture them being exposed to air, and that nice lusterful red penny turning brown.

I agree, sounds more like you are thinking of folders.

Albums are not much different than a 2x2. Both have the coin between two pieces of plastic and allow the viewing of both sides.

Dansco is what I prefer, but Whitman makes albums as well (do not confuse their albums with their folders, since they make both).

As noted already your confusing Folders with Albums. Many people do that. A Folder is just that, a Folder. You can not see the backs of coins, nothing protecting the face from scratches, dirt, fingers and/or spit.
An Album is just that, an Album. Sort of like a Wedding Album where you have plastic over the photos. Albums have slots for the coins and a plastic slide covering the coins.
This forum is sort of a Dansco People place. However, there are many other companies that make those Albums.
Whitman, Harris, Littleton, Intercept Shield, US Mint and lots more. If you have a coin store in your area you may want to see what they carry for Albums. For a more complete list of other companies, just go to Google and type in Coin Albums.

Once I get to the point of putting those coins in my Dansco, I will buy them in the slabs to make sure of their authenticity, bust them out, place them in the album and place the labels on the inside cover. Thats my suggestion.

And as mentioned, the Dansco Album is the way to go. You are right about the folders, they do not protect the coins quite as well. Nothing wrong with them though. I sell starter sets of Kennedy halves in them all the time. Just not something I would put something like an 09S VDB in though.

I use whiteman FOLDERS for my coins because albums are out of my budget.I also go to coin shows and when I get there I look for wheat pennies and then I just put them in my binder.
