Question About A New Purchase.

Completely on how you save what you collect. If you use something like Whitman, Dansco or other coin albums, just take them out of the plastic and put them where they belong. If you save in 2x2's, put them in them. As long as you are just collecting and not worried about perfection or slabbed, etc. if it were me I just put them where they should go. I have, for instance all Whitman Classic Albums. I order Uncirc sets from the Mint every year, cut them up and put the coins in the appropriate slot. Same with Proof coins, I get them and cut them out and put them in the Albums. I'm a collector and I don't care about selling them now or in a 100 years so I do what I want with what is mine, mine, mine, mine.

If your useing 2X2's theres no need to remove the coins from the cello. Keeping them in will give them an extra layer of protection and you really can't see the extra layer.

A Dansco Album is the way to go. Its a good way to organize a collection, rather then having it all over the place.
