<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 6130, member: 487&quot;]Well most larger dealers do this on a regular basis. It is not to cause any collector problems. The main reason that we do this is to match sets. Often the mint has issues with the quality of their coins. As they have taken the human element out of the process, quality control has suffered. I am sure you have seen a proof set or two that has streaks or marks on the coins. </p><p>Another reason we do this, is for registry quality coins. You may pull one coin out of 200 sets to submit for the perfect grade. This coin is then replaced by another. </p><p>The collector still gets a very nice proof coin.</p><p>The plastic case the mint uses opens very easily and there is no way to tell if it has been opened or how many times. </p><p>Like I said, this isn&#039;t a way for a dealer to get something over on the collector. It is often a way to help them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
