I think the answer for most is heck no. Part of the value is the package. I have three LSQ's 19-D, 19-s and 23-S that are slabbed. I won't break them out for my album. When I get my 1916 if it is slabbed and graded I won't break it out. Too much money between grades to risk having to argue about grade with potential buyer. Any coin I get that is worth more than a few hundred bucks will stay in its slab. I put them in safe deposit box with completed sets. I know in my mind that I have a complete set. I have to play it by ear. Report this Post to the Staff

cjartist Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 08/10/2016 07:41 am Well I have a plan now. Ordered an album, it's an older one, without modern issues or the gold page (I don't want to worry about gold for this). I'm excited! :) Even with a lot of the coins already, it will take a while to complete. Good to have a new goal. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189767 Posts	Posted 08/10/2016 11:49 am The Gold page was always optional. You might be able to find a modern page. I got an updated modern page from Wizard a few years ago, but they seem to be out of them now. No matter, good luck plugging the holes!

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/10/2016 12:55 pm I have no slabs. I have purchased coins in slabs but broke out the coins to put in Albums. I have all my coins in Albums. Even high graded sort of expensive coins such as the 16D Merc. I don't care about keeping coins in slabs for the future. This hobby is for me and I do with my coins as I feel is the right thing for me. Keeping coins for the future is OK for some but for me, I just collect coins because I like to get finished Albums.

terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 08/10/2016 6:19 pm Carl What do you do with your completed sets? I know around here if you leave them at home your risk loss by theft and break-ins. I keep completed sets in bank vault. I spent $1300 for 23-s LSQ that was slabbed graded EF. I keep that in its slab. Most of my coins are in albums because I like to look at them as well. If I have completed set I want to work on I get it out of the deposit box to upgrade coins and then back it goes. I don't think that much about future value but I don't want to totally lose on them if I sell them years from now. There will always be a debate about condition if they are not slabbed.
