I have opened and cut many sets , I can honestly say it bothers me to leave them in the mint cello and envelope .
I much prefer airtites and or folders /albums or the whitman five coin mint set holders for my coins and the extras that do not make it into the albums or folders or holders are in the square plastic tubes .

Takes a shot of vodka and just do it. :) (Especially for a $10 coin....) Just my $0.02.

Correct me I am wrong (and I am sure you will)but I remember reading somewhere that the mint did not and does not seal mint envelopes.
It was stated that all "Sealed Envelopes" were done on the aftermarket to drive the price up. I open mint sets yearly to update my various Dansco Albums

I must say, the coins look really nice in the albums. The 1970S Lincoln Cent replaced a pitted 70s. I thought it might have been a "small date" but I just could not make the "7" on the date be higher. Oh well, it does look good. Also, the two nickels are the first two in my new Jefferson Dansco, off to a good start. I just need an Eisenhower and Washington Dansco now, my local shop wants 32 bucks for one. |

So many people are don't want to open old things like those. Imagine if no one ever opened the old Egypian tumbs. Neve would have known about King Tut. Once you open those coin holders you'll be glad you did and just forget what they used to look like.

OK, I have TWO 2008 "Silver Mint Proof Sets". Should I crack one open for my albums and leave the other in tack?

I normally purchase two sets on to open and the other to keep sealed.

Yotie, it was actually fun to "FREE" the coins and put them in albums. The 1970 Nickel is my FIRST coin in my new Jefferson Dansco. The Kennedy finished my little album. I can't wait to FREE more coins.
