<p>[QUOTE="coldhardcash, post: 68286, member: 3893"]Well. not that early I guess. After reading here about the newly made envelopes being sold for the late fifties proof sets, I became suspicious enough to open one that I had. It is a 1956 and there are a couple questions I have about it. What all should be inside of the envelope? Should it have been a side opening envelope or an end opening envelope like my 1963 which I KNOW is genuine? Should it have a certificate in it? Are there telltale signs in the quality of paper and print on the envelope? The coins are OK. Now, the dime obverse is cameo, but not the reverse. The nickel reverse is cameo, but not the obverse. The rest are typical "last strike" coins common in these sets. Is there any added value to the nickel and dime? What would a grading service likely do in this case? I am a generally experienced collector not well versed in this particular area. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
