<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dynoking, post: 6451089, member: 81795&quot;]A COA is important when dealing with mint sets such as The Premier or Prestige series. People want the COA with the original government packing.</p><p>One reason you see empty OGP and COA’s with out coins is because the coins are looked over. If it looks the coin has a chance of grading MS70 the coin(s) are sent to a TPG.</p><p>It may only be one or two coins from the set that have a shot at MS70. The rest will be saved and eventually enough coins will be combined to put a complete set together with a COA and OGP.</p><p>When you see an ASE in a flip, an airtight or in tubes it (they) probably came from a monster box that was picked over and didn’t have a chance at MS 70. You can purchase single coin velvet boxes with the cardboard sleeve directly from the US Mint to satisfy those who look for OGP. It will not be the same OGP but it does have the US Mint eagle on it and looks go enough to the unsuspecting or uncaring.</p><p>In the case of mint and proof sets sealed in plastic envelopes the left overs are assembled into Capital holders and sold at full mint set prices to the unsuspecting.</p><p>This repackaging may result in a set of dog coins. Buyer beware.</p><p>If the COA accompanies a coin from the Danbury or Franklin mints well I guess that’s all you’re going to get. I don’t think the TGP’s will grade much if anything from them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
