[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 523845, member: 16510"][b]I could have, should have. would have,[/b] I could have, should have. would have, I've opened at least 5000 mint and proof sets and never thought a thing about it. Many were (supposedly) sealed, unopened mint and proof sets. Now there a scam for you. They even make after market red/brown envelopes to mimic the exact look of the original. All you got to do is slide your already searched or spotted sets into the envelope and seal it shut - walla, unopened proof set. Many sets have been originals though as you can tell from dies markers on consecutive runs of sets, (and color of envelope). But if you want to open them I say go for it - that's where the treasure may be, or not. If you are worried about running out don't - at least since 1959 there will always be sets to open all you got to do is look at the numbers. None of that stuff is rare. The world of coins abounds in enough material to last several more generations. Or you can just hold on to them and wish you would have, could have, should have and on and on.
