Message:: [QUOTE="AuSgPtHoarder, post: 699148, member: 9817"]Probably 80% of what I buy annually through the mint is subscription for a few reasons. I don't have to mess with ordering stuff, and I get in early either in case of sell-out, or in case of early production containing errors.  Also, I don't do quick-flips, so its not that I need to get them quick, I just want them, so I can look at 'em as early as possible <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  Anyhow, unless you're talking about sealed government packing, or the scams mentioned in some of these posts, part of the problem with buying sets, etc. through Ebay isn't that the coins are messed with, its just that they are the lower-quality ones.  Think someone buying 200 sets, eye-balling (or should I say jeweler's looping) them all, taking out what they expect to grade out at "70's", and selling the rest off.  In other words, you're guaranteeing yourself that you've got a lower-quality proof/mint set by buying their scraps. And I do love the subscription program.  Just, if its tied to your checking account/debit card, don't forget if you have a big order coming in (did that once - oops).[/QUOTE]
