Your question is a Real concern for Most who collect, IMO, The decision is clearly up to the collecting individual , If I were asked that question it would be a simple answer, Collecting All Original Packaging, I would keep ALL Original.
Once a collector takes the step of Slabbing the 1995-W, One must assume certain things, One, The 1995-W will Not be in its Original packed package. ( some could care less ). Its Gone, No More All Original. It Could be returned into the wild with some finess, Just not my style.
If your concerned with the Turn over for the Most obtainable $$$, I have seen Value handed to Some who have Certain coinage " Graded " Have and Are commanding Very High values.
One must consider All aspects of Your goals, On One hand having the Coins graded Brings a certain calmness, a Certain assurance, I can see Why people go the graded route for Monetary reasons.
One can Also keep the 1995-W in it's All Original package for the Collector that Next is the Ward for Your Treasures...
Maybe some day the Younger Collectors Will want to see All Original sets, Once gone, They are Gone.......
It is a Very strong reason to go the grading path, I am Not one of them, I know how I want to proceed, I see differing paths for Collectors, Choose what You want, and Go for It......
