[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 165914, member: 6763"]Back in the early sixties (and possibly later) collecting unopened sets was very popular, until someone opened a set and found a box of washers had replaced the coins. Since then it has been a nice thought, but I would never buy an unopened box. Also, it is popular to see sets from the sixties that are 'sealed'. I wonder how this could have happened, since I believe that the mint mailed the sets in larger envelopes and the proof sets inside were not sealed. look at an old proof set (from the early sixties) and you won't see glue on the envelope.[/QUOTE]
