That's 90% of the coin value down the drain me thinks.

What about the portable press coins.   Have you those?

Yes and the wrapping went in the incinerator as well :ok:
why is it because I choose to have my coins stored in archival quality environments instead of leaving them in that awful cardboard crap the mint has (these DO tend to tone badly after time) that I have lost 90% of the value of the coin?
Some people collect with a view off increasing the value of their purchases, others collect with a view of simply increasing their collection.
each to their own, to me the wrapping is meaningless :ok:

Sorry if my comment(s) upset you trout, that was not my intention.  I am interested in peoples views as to why they just keep the coins and destroy the folders and why some keep the coins in the folders.

I do it both ways, I take the coin out of the folders and keep the coin in the DANSCO Supreme albums as well as keep a coin in the folder and store the folder in special Folder Coins Albums.

To date, contrary to a lot of comments made by a lot of people, my coins are not deteriorating.

At times, one needs to retain the coin in the folders as I have two HMAS Sydney 11 VIP Overprinted foldered coins and one of the Eureka VIP Overprinted foldered coin.   If I remove the coins from these folders, then I lose the value.   Retaining the coins in these folders then the price is held with no argument.

It is the same for the reminted Sir Weary Dunlop 50c piece.   Remove the coin form the coin/medallion folder and all you have is a Weary Dunlop 50c piece.   Keep the coin in the Coin/Medallion folder and you have the Reminted 50c piece which holds a premium.   This is the only way to determine as to which Weary Dunlop coin one has.

So, packaging can play a very important part in the value of the item.

I am into coin collecting for two reasons.   The first is to maintain a full collection of all circulating coins and the second, to make a profit when it comes to sell off the collection.

All is good Goldie :friends:
I have quite a few coins still in the little cardboard slips because I have bought them either by accident or came with a job lot, They are all extras .
These I will leave as they are, although the dollar coins do tend to tone in these holders.
The main reason why I take my coins out of the packaging is so that I can add them to my albums in 2x2's and can view them far more easily than going through a mountain of pre-packaging and clamshells.
I do retain the clamshells/cases with the coa and boxes if I ever decide to sell.
These are all stored in packing boxes in the spare room.
It's just the way I prefer to have my collection, I enjoy seeing all the different coins on the same page.
It may be financially irresponsible buy Hay I'm a coin collector, I pay ridicules amounts of cash to buy money of a way lesser face value. :angel:  
We all have different ways of collecting and that is a GOOD thing, we would be an awful boring mob if we all did things the same way :good:

Just a quick query Goldie.
do you know the actual mintage for the large head silver proof coin that was only available in the RAM/NPA issue?
In Maccas it has 2 mintages , 2,480 and 4000 on the same page .

[Goldseeker]
