Do what YOU think is right. I personaly wouldn't take it out. My reason is based on an investment value. I would probably resell that particular coin one day.

It is a nice grade but not a high end grade. 1937 is one of the most common Buffalo dates at that grade level so I say go ahead and crack it

If you are going to keep the Album for yourself and to pass it on one day than crack that bad boy, if you plan on selling the coins in the album one day than you should leave it in the slab

Thanks for all the input everyone! Looks like it was a close vote, but the coin will soon be going to it's new home in my 7070.

Of course I said to crack it.

However, I will ask this question (for anyone else in this situation). What is the goal for the 7070? If you are going for the higher grades, then my original vote stands. However, if you are going to be tolerable of lower grades, then you may want to acquire raw and lower grade example for the album.

Personally I would not buy a graded coin with the intent of breaking it out. To me thats a waste as I can get the same cin raw and likely not pay as much. As soon as you crack it out of the slab, it is NOT a graded coin anymore and that grade goes up in smoke. You may know it came from the slab, but that means squat if you ever wish to sell it.

That is how I feel, but I am afraid my 1909-S VDB (and possibly the 1914-D) hole will not get filled otherwise.
Rest in Peace

Pics, or it didn't happen.

Seriously, I think it is good to see how it used to be.

For those that do not know, check out this Eisenhower Dollar.
