Welcome!
I left my in the slabs, but my father cracked many of his Morgan's & later regretted it. If you leave them out out of the book sets, be certain to note their location, so if something were to happen to you, the coins can be located. Or you can buy culls to put in the holes?

Bust them out. Free them and let them play with their friends.

As moxking said, if they were in NGC or PCGS I would leave them. Maybe even Anacs. I don't know anything about PCI but I assume they are a lesser known group. The reason I would leave NGC/PCGS/ANACS in the slab is because it should prove they are authentic and not cleaned. You could always get creative and print out a picture of the coin and tape it to cardboard the size of the album coin hole and place it in the album. Then you could keep the coins in slabs while also still having those holes filled in the album! My vote is to leave them!

I bought a 1923-S LSQ in EF condition in a slab with a grade for $1300. I am not going to crack it out. For the more common and cheaper coins if they come in slabs I do crack them out, but not the expensive ones. When I get my 1916 LSQ it will be in a graded slab and that is where it will stay. I have cracked out all my Morgans, but if I spend $5000 on one it would remain in the slab. If you buy a rare coin online only buy the ones that are slabbed and graded. I have a Peace dollar set that is in a Dansco holder and the do look good but none of them sell for more than $500. |

I love looking at pics in my albums, especially my MS Chain cent.  |

Just kidding. Terry8835 is absolutely correct, but in this particular case, just crack these low-grade PCI keys and enjoy handling them!

to the CCF, Bob ... Congrats on completing your Indian set ... "pennies" make cents! I'm with the crack-out crowd ... I would save the slab inserts though. The PCI grades are probably on target for these lower grade keys. When the time comes that the set finds a new owner, the inserts will enhance the set's credibility. Enjoy the CCF! |

Nice job on completing the set!
I (and probably others as well) would appreciate some pictures of these keys, if you would be so kind.

Good morning everyone.
Well, I tried to get good photos of my Indian heads but the quality of the camera just isn't great. Too blurry. Thanks again to all.

Bob and congratulations on completing the set. I break out all of the old copper I buy. Otherwise how can you hug them?  Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith |
