<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 954467, member: 307&quot;]This is the problem with finding information on the internet. You can&#039;t be sure whether or not the person knows what they&#039;re talking about or not. (I will first state that unequivocally, rlms <b>does</b> know what he&#039;s talking about. I am referring to the guy in the video in this post.)</p><p><br /></p><p>This guy [in the video] claims to have received Proof Sets from the Mint in 1964 and that they were sealed. Unfortunately, as rlm pointed out, this was not the case. The sets came in open envelopes from the Mint and have sealed over time due to humidity. There is also the problem with re-manufactured envelopes that can make telling an authentic one from a repro very difficult if not impossible in some cases.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes down to it, there is no real way to tell whether or not a &quot;sealed&quot; Proof Set will have anything of value or not. It&#039;s a crap shoot. The funny thing about 1964 cameo coins is that they are far more common than one would think and I don&#039;t think it would be worthwhile speculating on buying these sets for the purposes of discovering such coins. I think that most of the sets extant have been searched already and someone less than honest can search through an entire box of original sets and seal the envelopes as he goes along, put them on eBay and sell them off for a premium. Not that I have, I&#039;m just saying...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
