Here’s the thing …
Here’s the thing about plastic & coins:
What you want to avoid are the plastic holders that contain PVC, which, nowadays, are hard to come by. Otherwise, plastic holders are just fine.

I have half a roll …
I have half a roll of Large Cents from early 1800s, Half Cents, 2-Cent Coin, 3-Cent pieces, – For very old dates – quality isn’t a problem with me. I have some MS-65s from the 30s up, but that’s about as low as my dates go lol for the earlier high quality. I recommend Proof sets for beginner collectors. You can get a 1957 proof set off ebay for under $35 – Totally worth it

Wrong. An ANACS …
Wrong. An ANACS graded 1909 S VDB penny is worth much more when not encased by the ANACS grading company since their grading isn’t as trusted as other companies such as NGC or PCGS. Or, take the 1956 proof set: Washington Quarter, Roosevelt Dime, Lincoln Penny, Jefferson Nickel, and Franklin Half Dollar. You might buy it for $60.00. But, you buy the half on its own for $40, the quarter for $20, dime $12, nickel $10, etc.. Breaking the package and selling them separately can make you a profit.

are you suggesting …
are you suggesting coins were born in plastic cases? Or that the mint places all it’s coins directly into a plastic case? You’re crazy.

how can you not …
how can you not though. I take the diverse road myself and it makes me happy because i leave one type on to another and so on and so forth. I have a lot more fun taking this road even though it might take more organization and timing. Plus, it helps me expand my knowledge and reach into coins. I only have a small collection for now but I feel I have a good sense of what and what not to do. Happy Collecting!

I’m way to random in my collection. I collect anything silver. i collect world coins but I only have 2 full sets because i lose interest and find another nationality I like. The only ones I’m constantly looking for are Prussian coins and Imperial Russian coins.

What the is …
What the is this bullshit? You never should take a coin out of a plastic case if it came that way. Most of the time as soon as you open the case the coin will decrease in value.
