whatsamattayou New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 08/27/2019 09:37 am Hi All. I am a noob to the world of coin collecting. I have several coins that are part of a set that have come from Westminster. Also, some coins that are stand alone that have the foil "Certied BU" strip on the bottom. Would love to be able to take these coins out of their packaging, pop them in the Quadrum cases I have bought and store them in the box bought specially to store coins in. Does anybody know whether this is going to affect the coins resale value? I doubt I will ever sell these. I'm terrified I will reduce their value. Surely you can still sell a coin as BU without the "certification"? The coins condition should speak for itself surely? Any guidance on this would be gratefully received. Many Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/27/2019 10:37 am I am unfamiliar with the certification service or Westminster, so please take my comments with a spoon of salt. In the US the mints issue their coins in special packaging. In some cases, as with 70's mint sets, the coins are worth a little over face value, unless they can be TPG'ed for a top grade. In other instances, as with Limited Edition sets, they are worth more in the issued set. I would recommend a look up on SOLD items on ebay. If the items you have SELL for much more than face value, keep them as is. Report this Post to the Staff
