<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BR549, post: 988572, member: 7110&quot;]A single set of proof coins (cent, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar) had the brown packing tape enclosing all four sides of the slip cover. If the individual taped box was mailed, the address label was put directly on the box. If it was purchased in a Mint Gift Shop, the date was usually hand written on top of the un-taped box for inventory purposes and to aid in identification. The coins themselves were enclosed in celluloid pockets and stapled together with a steel fastener. They were then wrapped in tissue paper and inserted into the small cardboard fabricated boxes. </p><p><br /></p><p>(note: there were no manila envelopes used to secure the bundled proof coins)</p><p><br /></p><p>If more than one set was mailed (IE; 5 ea.) the boxes were sometimes taped and sometimes there was no tape used. This adds to the confusion and is by no means an indicator of how the proof coins were purchased.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is by no means true and concise, however I&#039;m attempting to convey what I remember and have seen, but memory can play tricks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
