No they did not. The box sets however were sealed. But the paper packing tape used and the boxes themselves are easily obtained brand new today....
I said used to have because I no longer have a collection. I quit collecting coins in 2006.
It should list the actual catalog you need. That at least makes it a lot easier to search for. Some of those old ones you find on the net once you...
Tompkins - You can buy 100 harshly cleaned coins and every one of them will look different than every other one of them. That's because there...
1 - No, absolutely not. 2 - Not in a million years. I don't buy pigs in a poke. 3 - Question does not apply to me since I would never buy it...
