Keep the three coin silver set, if it's in the OGP.
It's worth about ten or twelve dollars.
The rest are of little value, 3 or 4 bucks in unc., 5 or 6 in proof.
You'll see piles of these at shows.

SO that's a vote for cutting out any decent error coin. Captain Obvious reporting....

I would cut it out from the rest of the coins but keep it in the mint cello and send it in like that just in case theres some reason they dont want to slab it, you can still have it in the mint celllo

Except for the fact they would remove it from the cello to look at it.

..and what added value would a non-graded coin cut from the original packaging have just because it is encased in cello? Remember...$3-4 reported for the set

They probably will, but I'd rather a professional grading service handle it than have to do it myself just to put it in another flip.


And I do believe mint errors command a higher premium over a raw counterpart, especially if its part of a full set. It makes the error more interesting.

I would only let them breath if I had another set to keep as is.

Obviously a Mint error would have more value than a non-error but it was only being removed to have the error coin certified which would give it a higher premium than it's raw (in or out of set) counterpart.

I should add...it would have to be a significant error to make any of this conversation appropriate. Personally I would have looked at the coins first to see if there WERE any issues and only made the post if the errors existed.

Sorry, I misspoke, I meant that I believe a mint error in mint set cello will command a higher premium than the same mint error on a raw coin.

I suppose I'm in the minority, but personally I would not cut them open unless I had two of each. I just love looking at all the coins of each year in the cellophane, especially with Ikes and SBA's.

I would cut them if they filled album holes, otherwise I would probably leave them alone, if I had them at all.

Lol. I recently bought a collection FULL of these. Mint sets. Proof sets. Everything. Bought all the complete clad ones for 50% of greysheet and flipped them to my wholesaler for 80%. The incomplete ones I cut out and are in my change bin. Its what I like to call "Ice cream money"
