<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 698880, member: 19065&quot;]So it&#039;s really <u>not</u> the 8-8-8 coins <i>in</i> original Mint packaging, it&#039;s the individual 2008-W fractionals themselves as you&#039;ve been saying all along that are numismatically up and good &#039;investments&#039; due solely to mintage stats. The packaging has little to do with value here because the 8-8-8 sets and the coins themselves were available for sale at the same time during 2008, and for a decent price early on in 2008. But if it&#039;s the packaging which is key to greater resale value, then it is worth buying empty 8-8-8 boxes, even for $39.99 + $10s/h = $50, <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=250491341592&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=250491341592&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT" rel="nofollow">see ebay here</a> and assembling them as an 8-8-8 set as opposed to selling the coins separately. Still, to me, something about packaging and the coins numismatic value doesn&#039;t seem like it will hold value over time just because of the original 8-8-8 Mint wood box is retained. Seems in time the only focus will be the coin(s).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still not clear about your 8-8-8 vs. UHR logic...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
