[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8064478, member: 105098"]I'm not sure if there is a question in here or not... Did I see this ebay auction? yes, saw it. That said, the value in these is that they remain unopened. If you are going to buy it and not open it, I'd suggest buying it from a reputable place and not someone off ebay because ebay is full of scammers misrepresenting things. I find the 1964 stamps on the back seals to be sketchy as heck, as if to say "believe me, believe me, nobody opened it!" depending on how the coins look, it could be $160-$300 if it was opened maybe even more if the couins are stunning. but that's not what you are paying for, you'd be paying for the gamble on the unopened envelope and the mystery of the coins inside. at $400 I think you are overpaying for the coins themselves already. But I get if you wanted to buy a legit unopened nice conditioned packaging set to hold for a decade or two and then try to sell for more money down the road to someone that wants to gamble on it and open it. If it paid to open the envelope, the seller would have opened it themselves right? I would say if you are going to spend that kind of money for a "mystery" type thing, you buy it from a reputable place with a provenance to it that can be proven as not opened from a credible source and not some ebay seller, even if it costs you more money. Nothing worse than spending $400-$500 on something and finding out 10-20 years later when you sell it to someone else that someone switched the coins with circulated coins or moderns and is wanting their money back and thinks you scammed them. Just my opinion that you didn't ask for. :)[/QUOTE]
