But, be careful of cherry picking, and people make sets from non-20th anniversary set coins.   03-25-2008, 08:45 PM   #3 (permalink) ikes4ever Senior Member     Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Long Island, NY Posts: 464 lowest I ve seen in a long time. sounds like a good deal if the paperwork is there   03-25-2008, 09:08 PM   #4 (permalink) General_Godlike Dept. of Transportation     Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 507 OGP w/coa and outer box __________________ Half Dollar Searched ( 7000 ) Started Mar 05,2008 to present Liberty No date-1 1963D Franklin-1 Ken 1964-(87) Ken 1965-(40) Ken 1966-(71) Ken 1967-(347) Ken 1968-(344) Ken 1969-(155)   03-25-2008, 09:10 PM   #5 (permalink) spock1k King of Hearts   Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 11,559 Quote: Originally Posted by ikes4ever lowest I ve seen in a long time. sounds like a good deal if the paperwork is there how will the paperwork confirm that the coins have not been cherry picked and they are in fact the original coins that came in the box (other than the reverse proof) __________________ http://kidromeoisathief.webs.com/   03-25-2008, 09:11 PM   #6 (permalink) General_Godlike Dept. of Transportation     Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 507 well there are three boxes.....They are opened of course, but if the coins were cherry picked.....as long as there is the Proof, Reverse Proof, and burnished is there really a difference????I dont plan on gettting them graded. So is it better to buy a sealed set??? __________________ Half Dollar Searched ( 7000 ) Started Mar 05,2008 to present Liberty No date-1 1963D Franklin-1 Ken 1964-(87) Ken 1965-(40) Ken 1966-(71) Ken 1967-(347) Ken 1968-(344) Ken 1969-(155)   03-25-2008, 09:21 PM   #7 (permalink) wesleyscott Senior Member   Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 207 Quote: Originally Posted by General_Godlike well there are three boxes.....They are opened of course, but if the coins were cherry picked.....as long as there is the Proof, Reverse Proof, and burnished is there really a difference????I dont plan on gettting them graded. So is it better to buy a sealed set??? At least you would be the first to see the coins. The problem is, you will pay considerably more. Probably in the $500 range.   03-25-2008, 09:37 PM   #8 (permalink) jaytant Senior Member     Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Ohio Posts: 212 I really don't see what difference it makes if the proof and the Unc were taken from their single boxes and put in the sets... as long as the coins are there and they are in decent condition... (I assume you will be able to look at the coins before buying)   03-27-2008, 08:13 PM   #9 (permalink) Danr Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,709 My Mood: where?   03-27-2008, 09:29 PM   #10 (permalink) mralexanderb Coin Collector     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Northern California Posts: 1,964 My Mood: The Proof & Unc coins that came in the Th anniversary sets are no different than the Proof and Unc coin that were sold singly. The only coin that you can be sure is a 20th anniv. coin is the Reverse Proof. I have 5 sets from the US Mint and I opened them all to look at them. I have not had them graded as I like them as they are. $300 a set is a very good price for the 3 coin set. Examine all 3 coins to ascertain that they are still unharmed and in high unc. and high proof states.

My fiance has been looking into getting this set and found it for $380, and that was the cheapest that we could find. Everything on Ebay was $400 and up. __________________ Sunctando Regitur Mundis   03-28-2008, 02:39 PM   #13 (permalink) AUBU2 Senior Member   Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Michigan Posts: 361 Sealed set: Grading companys would put the set in the 20th anniversary holders. If opened it did'nt get the 20th anniversary holders(hence the lower value). So i assume the MS & PF silver eagles from the set will get the regular holder if opened. Same for the reverse proof i assume.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
