If you do open the box, all the sets should be open. If not then they have been searched. These folks that scam can be very good at pulling on the...
Positives- semi Pl fields and very frosty devices full of luster and minimal disturbances. Negatives- heavy contact in the field both obv and rev,...
I'd of done the same.
Neat variety Casman. Coneca or Variety vista does not mark this one as FS-501, wonder why? Coneca calls it die damage. But if anyone is wondering...

If this was the case, there would be thousands of these in collectors hands. Dropping a punch on the working die would make this mark on every...
Nice looking 09' for being found in circ. 12 years later.
These were also handled differently, bag marks and contact are rarely present. It is not uncommon to find these graded MS68 and MS69.
