You're probably better off getting the key dates in TPG holders. This eliminates the chance of getting a counterfeit, also the slab would offer better protection of the coin in a 2x2, folder or album. On other thing would be to get airtites for everything and put them in an album made for airtites. But that would be pretty costly.

If you must bust the coin out of the holder I would recommend you to take some pictures first. Keep the paper in the slab as well this way you have some proof the coins was authenticated by a TPG.

Really? hmm now it appears that I have some more research to do. Especially after seeing so many people use them. So dancso is the one I should look for?

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.

lol, yeah it is. For what it is worth, that's what was recommended to me by the others on this site, and I have been very happy with them. Expect to pay between $15 and $30 for each album.

I occasionally keep the little info pieces from the slab for my own information.
..a while back.

I think that is a great idea if you break them out. That would at least give you a good reference point if you were to ever sell the coin to a friend or have it re-slabbed.

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.

Once you bust a coin out of a slab the value of the coin decreases and y;ou have to have the coin regraded. Once you bust it out of a slab there is no guarantee that you coin will grade the same again. You've lost the value of the original slab plus your cost for regrading. I was thinking about doing this and decided against it for these very reasons.

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.
