I broke open two mint sets in the past but cannot bring myself to do it again even though the coins within them would be nice upgrades to my circulation sets. I'm always torn on what to do but there's just something about seeing an entire year's worth of coinage in the mint cellophane.

Yes, I take them out of mint and proof sets...primarily because the way I prefer to view my collection is in albums. I am of the persuasion that this is not an investment but a hobby. Everybody's different. There's no wrong way to collect coins - as long as they belong to you.

I don;t have albums, but if I did, I would break up modern sets only. I don't think i'd have the heart to bust open a 30+ YO set.
