[QUOTE="Aslanmia, post: 524730, member: 11753"]I'd suggest opening the box like everyone else, but preserve the packaging as best you can. In some cases original packaging is almost as important as the coins inside. Compare the prices of an early 50's mint set with the original holder and envelope and a set made up of loose mint coins put in one of those plastic cases... it just isn't the same. When buying mint or proof sets it has to have the original packaging (opened is fine) or I'm not interested... that's where all the history is![/QUOTE]
