<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Douglas, post: 3981, member: 617&quot;]I just got done reading &quot;United States Proof Sets and Mint Sets&quot;. The authors caution about buying proof sets in original packaging, per se, 1950-1954 and 1955-1964. And especially sets prior to 1950. They say there are a lot of fakes out there. How does one guard against this? Personally, I don&#039;t like sets that have been put in plastic holders and would prefer to collect original packaging. If the 1950-1954 set is in the box and the cellophanes are still stapled together, is that pretty safe? If the 1955-1964 in the envelope with the cardboards and piece of paper and the cellophane looks untampered with a safe bet?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
