I have not done that.... Though I have purchased slabbed coins to keep as part of my album.... Sufficient that I have the coin, does not need to be actually installed in the album. I can enjoy it, and the album, as they are. Cheers, RickO
I do keep raw coins in cowans pages , binder for shows / storage. At table at shows pages removed from binder / stacked inside display cash 2 along with stacks of currency graded and raw plus stacks of slabs. Case 1 slabs in higher value ranges and sometimes stack of high value US Graded currency. Sort of like the distribution of RB, TE, WR like a football offense (playbook) depending on smash mouth, balanced, or spread (1 RB, 4WR).

Usually for the lower cost items, but I have cracked out a VF-30 1841 seated dollar and an 1874 trade dollar from an old ANACS holder for the Dansco type album. Most recently, I cracked out am 1876 details trade dollar - graded XF with a hole! That's become my quarantine coin necklace - at least I know the coin is genuine.
I wonder how many people here have had a coin graded themselves, then cracked it out for an album?
I have done this. I have a 1926 Peace Dollar that I thought had a good chance at a 65 (there’s a nice spread between 64 and 65). It came back 64 and so rather than sell it and buy a common 65 I just cracked it out and put it back in my album. About half the coins in my Dansco 7070 were once slabbed and probably 1/4 of my Buffalo nickel album.
Yes, a 1939-D Jefferson in MS64 from an OWH ANACS. It was the only Jefferson that was needed to fill my pre-1960 MS nickel album and I couldn't have an empty space if I had the coin on hand. So, out it came, album complete.
Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

I have, and some very high grades. If you are careful you could always resend it. Did it to put into a super nice Dansco album. The coins can turn into beautiful colors. And if I want it holdered again. I'll send it in with the lable from the breakout. May not matter, but grades I trust to be close to the same, or higher.

The graders will never see the label. Someone in the mail room will throw it into the trash.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Probably, but hopefully if it’s their company’s label they’ll use the opportunity to correct the population report anyway.

Never - I am destroying their marketability.

Yes, but only large cents that were getting too crusty in the slab.
The (proper) EAC conservation, sometimes, the old coppers need to be liberated, and then properly (re)brushed.

Don't want to put a counterfeit key coin in the album.
Yes, yes, yes

@Cougar1978 you don't use the PowerEye and hope the customers are using the IWishbone? (I might miss sports a little bit)
