<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1636417, member: 18157&quot;]Not getting too far afield (hopefully), but there is one type of Mint packaging that I feel does add value to the resale of coins. Not the primary packaging that actually holds the coins, but the packaging used to ship the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did a price analysis a while back and found that all coins seem to make a significant move up in numismatic value (desirability) around the 70 year mark (give or take a few years). Buying US Mint set lots around the 50 year mark (in their original) shipping container seems like a good bet to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago, I bought eighty (80) 1962 US Mint sets (P&amp;D) in their original, sealed US Mint shipping box. They went up in price as silver went up (which was nice). However, I expect to see a very nice price appreciation around the year 2030. </p><p><br /></p><p>By 2030, as the collector base expands for these years (that&#039;s the theory, anyway), an original box of unexamined 1962 US Mint sets should sell at a hefty premium over those that have been previously picked over.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also think that sealed boxes of US Mints set from the 70&#039;s and 80&#039;s may be a good long term investment now...if you can find them. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
