<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1169817, member: 24633&quot;]A lot of collectors are looking for high-grade proofs for their Registry sets. Some of them will just submit the unopened set and let the grading service open it (NGC does not charge for this service, but I&#039;m not sure about PCGS). If the other coins receive respectable grades, they oftentimes sell them on eBay to recover some of the expenses. Other collectors might not want the added expense of certifying the unwanted coins, so they will just crack the case themselves and submit only the coins they want. What they do with the raw proofs is anybody&#039;s guess.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>NOTE: If you are going to use latex gloves to handle (especially) proof coins, make sure the gloves are the type that DO NOT have powder on them. Some are coated with powder inside to make it easier to slip them on and some of this powder invariably transfers to the outside of the gloves.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
