If all the other coins are high grade and your full steps are graded MS65 or under I may go for cracking them out, any coins in your album under high AU (55 or 58), I would keep them in the holder..
they will remain FS whether you crack them or not. if they are conditionally rare and all of their value is derived from the label, don't do it. If they are not conditionally rare then there's no harm- you lose the $30 in equity from the grading servce- but that's it.
In my IHP album, I cracked out the 1877, in the Wash Quarter album I broke out the 32 D&S, the Lincoln album I will break out the 14D and 31S when I get them back. I take the labels and tape them into the Dansco at the front or back. None of my Jeffersons were graded, though they are high grade.
If you are putting the album together for yourself, and you want those coins in it, go right ahead. If you think you may want to resell them, then leave them. It sounds as if you are trying to put together a high grade Dansco, so, if that's the case, go for it.
Depends on what your end goal is in collecting the series. I cracked out a bunch of high grade Washington quarters that I remain confident will reholder at that grade or better if re-slabbed. My goal was to put together a really nice high grade set in a Dansco... and I did. It looks terrific!!
My 3 slabbed war nickles are MS65 and 66FS (full steps). I think I may just leave the slabs alone and just put some nice Bu stuff instead in my Dansco. I had the same problem with my Dansco Type Coin album. Thought I was all done with the Jeffersons and could proceed on with a different album which will be my next topic on the forum.
Thanks guys and have a Merry Christmas or a Happy Holiday whichever.
I would keep them slabbed and buy replacements. My Danscos have pretty much common dates and nothing too expensive. If I did get some FS slabbed nickels, I'd likely buy a replacement or put something in the hole and have a reference to the slab.
