Question on Encapsulation Method Used for These Coins

Here's a question for the experts on this forum, or those with more knowledge than me! In the years that I've been collecting coins, I have never seen coins encapsulated in this manner. These coins (a 1908 $5 Liberty Head and a 1908 Indian Quarter Eagle) were passed down from my grandfather to my father and then to me. Aside from a small fitted black cloth case, there is no documentation. Does anyone know the origin/history of this encapsulation method and (if I decided to sell them in the future) whether it would be better to sell them "as is" or try to remove them from the enclosure and have them graded?

That's a capital plastic holder. If you are gonna ever sale them then I would submit for TpG. Nice gold btw
Hoard the keys
They can be removed with a standard screwdriver on the slotted side of the 4 corner posts. Put the screwdriver in the slot and turn counterclockwise. Removal will make coin evaluation much easier.
With provenance like that I would keep them in that holder. Just me.
Unless of course circumstances made it necessary to cash out.

Very nice .... Welcome aboard FrankK1963... I would keep them 'as is', unless you are planning to sell....then, if they are really nice... slabbing them by a TPG would be a good idea. Cheers, RickO
