<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Douglas, post: 1239959, member: 617&quot;]I&#039;d say do not do anything to the original packing, coins are no different than a lot of collectables. My wife has her 1st year Barbie in the box, and because of the box it&#039;s worth a great deal more than without. I collect Mint sets and Proof Sets, I do not even look at them unless they are in the original box. And what I have been doing the last few years with my Mint Sets, I don&#039;t even open the cardboard box as received from the mint, I just write the year in the corner. i wish I had done that earlier in my collecting career, but that&#039;s water over the dam. i have been receiving sets direct from the mint since 1955 and I can tell you, finding unmolested older sets is not easy. thanks, douglas[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
