<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seasnake, post: 1296296, member: 25449&quot;]I recently bought a 5 coin 1962 set, in plastic, no envelope or paperwork. The 1/2 is sweetly toned which is why the dealer held it for me since he knows I&#039;m all about color. First, how do you tell the difference between a 1962 mint or proof set? No mintmarks, package insert is blue and says &quot;US MINT Philadelhpia&quot;, dealer did say it was a proof set so I assume that it is. Secondly I want to have it graded (authenticated NT toning) by NGC and am reluctant to cut it out of the plastic since it is sealed and should be proof that it was not doctored. I don&#039;t want any other coins graded, just the 1/2 but can&#039;t just cut the 1/2 out because the plastic separating the individual coins has deteriorated between the cent and the 1/2 which is probably the cause of the toning, the interaction between the 2 coins. Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
