LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 10:48 pm I think it would be OK to bust out low value coins like the prez dollars. I'd never bust out a semi or key date though. Too many fakes out there sold raw. The slab proves you have an authentic coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 10:59 am I have broken out many slabs (commons, semi keys and a couple of key date coins) and opened mint and proof sets for my Dansco albums. I have never had an issue with doing so. However the slabbed coins I have bought to put in my 7070 are going to be tough to break. I will cross that bridge much later and I have over 50 coins to go to get it filled. Report this Post to the Staff

When you buy a raw coin and especially from a stock photo listing you just don't know what you'll get. Not always. Slabs can be fakes and the TPGs are not perfect. They make mistakes. I prefer to buy a coin in hand (US Mint products being the lone exception). The coin will look the same raw or in plastic.

I would think slabbed coins would provided excellent examples. I don't collect this series but I am interested in a few of the coins. Just remember the dollar coins are so very reactive that after busting them out you may find that a few months after you put them in your albums you have spots, blemishes and unattractive toning anyway.

Too true I bust out of slabs, too! More busting out of OGP, but very occasionally I'll acquire modern (several JFK halves) for Dansco albums Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4869 Posts	Posted 09/24/2015 2:16 pm I don't mind busting open sets from the mint. It's a pretty good way to get decent coins. Report this Post to the Staff

In your case, buying slabbed is the way to go. If I ever buy a coin from ebay, it is almost guaranteed it would be in a slab.
