Picked up a new set keep it raw or graded it?

I would like to keep it raw but like the holders so I can hold them and look at them. I don't like to do that with raw coins.

    I really think in this case it's your preference that matters the most.

    Nice set, I would keep it raw.

    Not every coin needs to be put in plastic. B)

    Raw. A bit more "presence" than having them stabbed up in likely 62-63 holders IMO.

    Likely raw depending how they looked in hand I tend to doubt that the grading fees would enhance the ability to sell this set for an increased difference that would exceed the grading fees than had they just been left raw.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I like the set just as it is in the case.

    I like this set raw, unless the case was damaging them in some way. Maybe put them in airtites or those low profile kointains (do they even make those anymore?) so you can pick them up, but are easy enough to return to the original case.

    Keep in set. No plastic unless you plan on selling it.

    I agree with the others. Left in the box is best. If the box was missing, then yeah, I'd slab them.

    Thanks all. I some times get in that rut and start grading everything.
