To cut open Mint sets or not to cut open Mint sets. What say YOU?
Lets say one was to build a set of modern coins in albums, and had a run of mint sets from the 60s to date, would you suggest cutting open all those mint sets or reccommend keeping the mint sets as they are, with OGP, and not butcher them and build the sets another way?
One could get a long way filling their albums with coins from those mint sets, but then again all those sets with their coins in the cellos would be gone forever. You've still got the coins, of course, but the "sets" are gone.
There may be many here who have cut up their sets and I'm sure there are many who keep their sets intact. What are your suggestions and why?

You can always get a collections of choice sets too if you want them intact. Cut the ugly
sets with one or two nice coins. Don't buy the junk sets with no nice ones.
I'd suggest just leaving them and starting your own dansco sets on the coins you want to collect.

Keep cutting up them mint sets and just maybe those sets will be worth something.....
I decided to cut open my mint sets and proof sets ( Back to 64) and place them in Danscos.
I didn't have any regrets ( And don't yet)
I sold my 99 and 01 silver proofs, and If I bought them back, I don't think I would break them out.
