<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 6574763, member: 18157&quot;]Some years ago I won my Fantasy Golf League <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and used the proceeds to buy a sealed U.S. Mint box of eighty (80) 1962 mint sets (P/D). I paid the exorbitant price (at the time) of $22/set. That&#039;s just shy of 1.25 Oz of pure silver per set.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t buy them for the silver, though. Prices for the highest grade 1962 quarters and halves are through the roof! NGC lists the MS67 1962-D quarter at $8,750. They list the MS66FBL half at $9,750.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not suggesting that any of those coins are in my box. Coins were shipped/moved to the Mint Set packaging facility in mint bags. Mint sets of the early &#039;60s are notorious for beat-up coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer sources of TRULY unsearched coins. Since my coins are in their original, sealed U.S. Mint shipping box, there is no doubt these haven&#039;t seen the light of day since 1962. </p><p><br /></p><p>Who knows this box could actually hold a lottery ticket or two. This is a case where the packaging may be worth more than the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
