Looking for advice

[clad2Bhere]

Do any of you guys/gals crack sets to build albums or is that a big no no!! ?

[coinman_23885]

I would never crack out high grade/high value certified coins for an album any more than I would cancel my car insurance or homeowner's insurance.

No, I mean from U.S. Mint sets, sorry.

[coinman_23885]

The premiums on modern mint sets are so low, I don't think it really matters.

[clad2Bhere]

Thanks, just looking for a little direction.

Many modern mint sets trade at little more than face value.

Get crackin.....

yes- it is cheaper buying mint sets to break up than to buty them as individual coins- plus you are guaranteed that they are uncirculated if you are looking to make an uncirculated book... that said I would not brake open any mint set from 1964 or earlier.

I've busted, literally, thousands and thousands of proof and mint sets over my career. Sometimes hauling out three 35 gallon garbage bags of parts to the curb. I never gave it a thought.

I buy an extra proof and mint set every year for my Danscos!

I have actually started thinking about doing the same, it's a good idea.
