  It depends. If the original packaging celos are in good shape and haven't harmed the coins after all this time, I'd leave them as is. But, if they've deteriorated and are contaminating the coins I'd move them to a new holder.

  Thanks Russ looks like I'll be moving about 25% of them.

  I moved all of mine into capital holders. I also saved the celo's, staples and boxes in case I need them for selling later.

  I was given sixty-two sets from 51 to 54 (39 R 54's) and about 25% have a haze or spotting on all the silver and some black on the copper with the packaging being shot.
  The rest have great packaging but the coins all have some sort of spot or blemish, these will be set off to the side for my son---Thanks for the input Tom
