<p>[QUOTE=&quot;octavius, post: 4502030, member: 100777&quot;]I can remember a number of years ago when a modern coin collector was bragging to me that he had a 1953 proof set in its original , unopened envelope. He was trying to convince me it was more valuable since it was never taken out of the original package. I asked him if he then never actually saw the coins. He confirmed that he never did see them , because this would cause the value of an unopened envelope to decrease. I could never understand that logic ; one would do better just collecting envelopes. Most of the &quot;thrill&quot; comes from handling them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
