I find it convienient and economical to just leave the coins in Gov.pkg
w /coa.It leaves no chance to mess the coins


Which is exactly why I usually purchase at least two silver or clad proof sets. One to bust open and one to keep intact.

Well I bought 2 proof sets today 1988 and 1985. Found them easy to crack with a razor knife and flat tip screwdriver. Paid $7 for each and added 2 new coins to each of my albums. Trying to figure out what to do with the other 6 coins. Have them 2x2ed and in the trade off pile. Looking them up on the auction I would ahve spent close to $7 just for the Lincolns and still had to but the Jeffersons

Well it fills a slot in each of the albums. Although I was hoping the trading of the other coins would work a bit easier. May have to auction them. But i'd rather swap them for others I need.

I understand, we all have to make sacrifices!

We should consider ourselves fortunate to have what we have, with our collections and our better halves.
