<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 948497, member: 66"]The problem, in my case, is that on an untampered with set the paper on the back of the flat. If the coins are removed for examination the paper on the back, even if it isn't torn, it's now dimpled so you know the coins have been removed. If they have been removed they may have been switched which makes me question the originality and thus lowers the value. (For awhile coins that showed "mint set" toning brought a hefty premium and it was a common thing to remove the toned pieces and replace them with other untoned coins. This let them sell the toned coin for a premium and still have the mint set they could sell. If they held the set and kept it in a warm place they might even be able to generate more "mint set" toned coins they could sell for a premium.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
