Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1818969, member: 13307"]If it was me, I'd open them all to search for varieties and cameos.  However, that might depend on where I got them.  If I got them from eBay, I'd probably assume that they had already been searched and then sealed to create the illusion that they were unsearched. If I got them from an estate sale that looked like someone's actual collection, not someone's unwanted/leftovers, then I might be convinced I might find something. It also depends on how quickly you need to sell them - because going through 50 plus proof sets is going to take some time - especially if you're searching for more than just Accented Hairs.  Of course, on the one hand, you could get lucky and get an Accented Hair, or two, or ten.  Of course, on the other hand, you could get none, or maybe one that is covered in hairline scratches... I'd love to see you get $27/each for them...but it looks like eBay is showing completed auction prices of $27-29 (and then you are going to lose fees.)  If you have a local coin auction that you can put them in, that might work, but then you'd need a couple buyers willing to go over silver melt for them (with silver going down, around $12.50/set right now for what's considered a common silver proof set.)  Once you open them, you might lose the "idea" that there are hidden treasures inside. I am Benjamin's willingness to talk openly about coins and his experiences buying/selling them.[/QUOTE]
