    Some stickers are historically important, particularly with regard to provenance, original purchase date/price/grade/source. These I always leave alone. (Granted, they are not really "dealer labels".)

    Stickers that crow about aspects of the coin ("great strike", "PQ", "undergraded", etc.) I find annoying and distracting, and I always remove them.

    I always remove. I have my own labels including date purchased, price paid, variety and other notes if necessary.

    I remove it immediately and it looks like more people than I thought do the same thing.

    never bought a slabbed coin from a dealer . I only have 3 and I found them in the gutter in front of a homeless shelter. I didn't see that as a poll choice so I chose other

    I like the coins I’ve bought to show who I bought them from. The majors in my collecting field. I guess I would take off a auction company sticker....

    I remove them and stick them to the receipt, which of course I file away in a box and never look at again.

    Why? Doesn't the receipt have all the same information as the sticker?

    I remove all stickers. I'm not even particularly fond of CAC stickers, but I leave those alone since they add value.

    Polls should be public. I remove them as I don't want extra stuff cluttering up my slab.
