Many of the State Quarters I've acquired in mint sets are nearly flawless, high grade coins. I'm considering removing them from the mint packaging, photographing them, and housing them in Airtite capsules. Is there any compelling reason why I shouldn't do this? Is there any definite way of distinguishing mint set coins from regular circulation strikes?

If the coins aren't part of a mint set then I'd have no problem moving them to airtites. If you have the complete mint sets for all those years then leave em in the sets.

I believe all the coins in US Mint Uncirculated Coins sets from 2005-2010 were suppose to have a special satin finished instead of the regular business strike finish. You should be able to see the difference by placing them side by side.

Aside from what paparet said, there is no way to tell mint set coins from regular business strike coins. The quality of the mint set coins is obviously much better on the whole, but that is not a way to tell them apart.

As for putting them in airtites, if they are just quarters cut out of mint sets, go for it. If they are still in the complete set, you may want to consider leaving the set whole.
