[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 285319, member: 6463"]lol...arrogant statement ...cough, cough ...pot ...kettle ...black...lol. I buy a lot of mint sets and proof silver eagles and never once has a seller said ..well the coin is perfect but since the box has a dent in it, I'll give you $2.00 off and I've never said to a vendor ...i really like this set of green box mint sets but I notice the boxes are a little rough ...do you give a discount for that? He would laugh in my face. That's rediculous. Sure, most of the old timers here will say sure ..mint packaging need to be mint...but most of the guys at the shows couldn't really care. Whats the spot price on a carboard box? Buy the coin not the box. Also, it's a risk these days sending anything back to the mint. What if they stop production on the silver eagles, like they have the gold and platinum...wouldn't you feel silly returning and not getting a replacement because of a crease in the cardboard? It's a personal choice.[/QUOTE]
