2001 Buffalo Dollar - submit or not????????

ellewood

I am mainly a Lincoln Cent collector but I have always kept up with my annual proof sets, mint sets, silver eagles and every once in a while commem. proof issues. Several years ago I picked up a 2001 Buffalo Two Coin Set (proof & uncirc.) from the Mint. The proof is undoubtably the most gorgeous coin I own...bar none. Is it worth submitting this coin and having it slabbed???? I'm not so much worried about the uncir dollar but is there a chance that the proof dollar with deteriorate in it's mint issued holder because it is not sealed air tight??? Can someone give me feedback on this one?????? On the other side of the coin (no pun intended), will the coins be worth any more because they are in a set together??? I just don't want a flawless coin (valued at $180+) to go downhill over the years because I wasn't smart enough to take better care of it.... thanks....

I certainly would have both graded, aside from adding protection for the coins you'll also know how good your coins really are.
