[QUOTE="Michael Townshend, post: 3169330, member: 97630"]Don't workers at say,... PCGS know if a lens was opened? Or are they not concerned about the specific set when it comes to general proof sets? You would think that there would be some glue that would show signs of breaking if it was ever opened. Which means that the lens is 2 pcs of plastic with snap on type lens'? I also wonder about the mint and their desire to produce a set that is tamper proof (preserve provenance, make the COA real?), but from what I hear, these all can just be pried open, coins swapped out? I'd be afraid to do that, unless I wanted at the coins themselves, but that's definitely a topic for another thread. Guess that's why there are a bunch of sets floating around with what looks like 1 coin out of place... I thought it was just the aging, but most likely I assume the coin was swapped? Was curious if anyone might know something about this, I know it's off topic, but read it mentioned here a few times...[/QUOTE]
