<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fallguy, post: 2666281, member: 84739&quot;]You have a 1950 in the box??? Question, when you say &quot;never opened&quot;, do you mean the individual cellophane packets have never been &quot;opened&quot;, or are you saying that there is no evidence that the little cardboard box has never been &quot;opened&quot;? Not prying mind you, just excited like on Christmas Morning.</p><p><br /></p><p>A number of years back when I decided to start collecting again (like not since I was knee high to a grasshopper), something that caught my eye were US Mint &amp; Proof Sets, and since my plan has always been to put my entire collection into trust for may youngest granddaughter, I decided to do it the best I could; only sets in OGP and whenever I could find them (and for the years where it occurred), sets were there was no evidence that the envelope or box containing the coins had ever been unsealed, AND the Ultimate . . . sets in the unopened mailer (just like the post office would deliver). Long story short, I have obtained all of the &quot;modern&quot; era mint/proof sets (1947 to date, including the 1982 and 1983 Souvenir Sets, for the former and 1950 to date for the Proof Sets). All are OGP (no &quot;Capital Holder&quot; transfers); many (mostly starting in the late 70&#039;s early 80&#039;s) are sealed in their envelopes/boxes (again where there are records that the Mint actually &quot;sealed&quot; such for any particular year), and a fair number (mostly mid 90&#039;s and up) just as they had been delivered by the USPS. The oldest I have of that type is the 1964 Mint Set. The oldest in the envelope/box is a 57 Mint Set (though there is some debate whether not the US Mint sealed the envelopes for that year, AND the oldest of all with no signs of entry is the 54 Proof Set Box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to have been so long (and probably shouldn&#039;t have posted it this thread), but after all my looking, I just thought I&#039;d never hear of an earlier year Mint/Proof set, but when I saw your post, and if the box is not opened . . . You Have Given New HOPE that I may one day be able to yet find earlier date &quot;unsealed&quot; Sets. Well I just got over-excited and wrote to much; <b>Sorry, but Kool Jinkies!!!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Semper Fidelis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
