<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ConfederateHalf, post: 1221723, member: 27946&quot;]I&#039;ve never understood why anyone would seriously believe in such a thing as &quot;un-opened&quot; envelopes for sets that date back to the 1950&#039;s.&nbsp; I mean - seriously - put yourself in the shoes of the person who ordered such a set back then.&nbsp; Are you seriously going to order a set from the mint - eagerly anticipate its arrival for many weeks (back then) - and then when it finally arrives, you don&#039;t even bother to *open* the dad-gum thing!&nbsp; It&#039;s strains all credulity to believe in such a scenario.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember personally ordering a Bicentennial proof set from the San Francisco Mint in the mid-70&#039;s when I was a kid and I absolutely could not wait to unwrap my new prize when it finally arrived - many months after I had originally mailed in my order.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can only conclude that there is no such thing as an &quot;unopened&quot; envelope.&nbsp; It&#039;s pure nonsense designed to prey upon the naive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
