Secure Plus as a CRACKOUT comfort?

I have several holdered coins I have not cracked out for my type set. This same discussion has been around the block several times on the board-should I or should I not break out this nice ____ whatever coin to put it in my Dansco? I have an extra nice high AU motto dollar, a MS65 Antietam, a VF classic head cent and so on that I have not brought myself to cracking YET. The investment to reholder these coins would be justified on my most expensive coins for the type set. I think with a four figure or close to four figure coin Secure Plus will give me the comfort to crack these and put them in my type set and not worry about them getting back into plastic down the road if I ever chose to sell.
Is this a correct line of thinking or not? Thanks

    If these are "the" coins to represent the type in your Dansco, then crack em out, and the hole is filled.....
    if you think you may want a different one for your set , hold on

    If the coins are that nice, which im sure they are, and the
    event arises that you NEED to sell, and they be slabbed to do so,
    then bite the bullit and reholder em

    finish your set, enjoy your coins

    A couple of things to consider: 1) You can't know for certain that you will be able to get them re-holdered and at the same grades; 2) Even if you can, you will have to pay to do so. Balance that against whatever increased enjoyment you think you get in having the coins in an album.

    If their expensive, to you at any price, I wouldn't want to do it.
    Reason is that if they got any additional toning, they would be suspect.
    If they got any type of scratch/scuff/etc, from sliding in the album, even though you may not see it, they would be suspect and maybe the grade lowered.
    The laser is likely to notice little things that you don't.

    In short, I wouldn't want to give any reason for an excuse to get a lower (or genuined) grade.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
