My "justification" for opening all of these Treasury Dept. envelopes and the '76 Sets, was two main points......save me money from having to buy them....and I would still have my Dads gifts, but they would just be in the albums.
But, after reading the replies.....and especially JB's, I cannot "crack" anything from my Dad.
For one, I know he would be appalled at the idea, as many folks are with doing that for albums. And the other thing, is his only grandson, my Nephew, will most likely inherit these things from me, and they will be his Grandpa's Sets. (Don't get me wrong, my Dad has given him A LOT of Morgans, Sets, and other coin related stuff through the years!) But, I think that I am just the "current caretaker" of some of my stuff.....and that it should and will go to the next generation in my family.
Maybe my Nephew will crack them for an album someday anyway !! ....LoL.....but, I'll just "spend the money" and keep everything intact.
(though, I'm still thinking about the Treasury Dept. envelopes in the blister packs ! .....
