Title: WTB 5btc Casascius and a question.
Post by: Throwawaydev400 on November 17, 2017, 06:18:43 AM
I have a casascius set that I will consider complete after getting the coin in the topic. Some of them are graded and some aren’t. Personally I hate the graded slab so I want to take the slabbed ones out in order to display them much more nicely. Would I destroy a lot of value by doing this, rather than keeping them in relatively low number anacs slabs?

6btc if it is in good shape, I can pay for everything other than the initial shipping to the escrow.

Depends on the grade (likewise for numismatics as a whole-in general), but I believe (as ugly as their slabs are) it's best to leave them in their graves.  I just don't understand still why NGC hasn't hopped on board. 

Also- have to think there aren't a ton of graded 5BTC either.

Keep them in the slab, you get a higher premium for high graded coins. At the same time they will protect your coins too. I personally have never sent any to get graded and mine are in plastic capsules only.
