Over the last several years I have been putting together a complete set of $2 coins (toonies) including specimen, proof, and the few gold varieties. I store the coins in 2x2 flips and then in vinyl 2x2 Dansco pages in a Dansco slip-cased album. I like the way the coins look in the album and they are all in one place and easily viewable.
Being close to completion, I recently acquired the 1999 Nunavut "mule" coin to add to the collection. The coin came as part of the entire 1999 Special Edition Uncirculated Set which contains the $2 Nunavut commemorative coin.
My question is: should I cut open the
RCM sealed package removing the "mule" coin and place it in a 2x2 and subsequently in my album? Will this reduce the value of the coin?
I'm inclined to remove the coin and place it in the album for the following reasons:

It will become an integral part of my collection and album where I can view it as well as the other coins in my toonie collection.

I purchased the set at a decent price. On occasion I've seen just the individual coin sell for more than what I paid for the set.
With all other sealed sets I've purchased, I removed the coins to place them in various albums. However, these sets were significantly less in cost. The only reason I'm asking about this coin and set is its uniqueness. Charlton shows a slight increase in value for the set versus the individual coin.
Id like to hear what other CCF members think.
