<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fallguy, post: 2889964, member: 84739&quot;]While I would agree that generally a collector would want to see what they&#039;ve acquired, you can still be a collector whose interest is in acquiring coins, or anything else for that matter, that have never been seen (except those who packaged them at the Mint) by anyone else.&nbsp; Certainly, I would love to see what the coins look like in those Mint and Proof sets that I know have never been opened (still contained in the original and unsealed &quot;Mailer&quot; used by the Mint to send the sets enclosed therein to the original purchaser). But you reach an age where the desire to share, or spark the sense of discovery that you have felt, with another, out weighs your desire to see what you have now. However I must admit, I do have 3 1964&#039;s in unsealed US Mint mailers, one of which and chosen at random, I will open at some point before I leave this veil of tears. I think it was Lemme Caution, who said something to the effect that there are as many types of &quot;collectors&quot; as there are collectors; I couldn&#039;t agree more, even if I do appear to be of the really odd type<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Semper Fidelis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
