Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 2:28 pm Hello, I bought a '64 mint proof set recently with the half cut out, put back in, and taped back up. Should I just put these in my tubes of Roosevelt dimes, 64 quarters and halves? Curious how other collectors handle this. I can't see putting them in capsules given the low premium over silver. Anyone's input would be appreciated! R. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 9:40 pm I buy (from the mint) 2 sets of proof/silver proof and uncirculated sets. One set I keep intact - the other I break out all the coins to place in my Dansco albums. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 03:21 am Thank you for your responses. I think I was hoping folks would say 'it's a bullion coin out of the packaging's and then, for the sake of organization, I could just drop them into tubes! I think I'll leave them in acid free flips for now. Report this Post to the Staff
