<p>[QUOTE="COIN STASHER, post: 159361, member: 773"]<b>Another bit of e-bay advice!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks all for the great advice! One more thing to watch out for is any seller offering "unopened" proof, mint or other coin sets. Unless you really trust such seller, stay clear. "Unopened" could mean the seller bought envelopes he or another seller had printed up with older dates, took some inferior coins and placed them in one of those envelopes and sealed it himself! Yeah, it's "unopened" alright, after he sealed it in that newly printed envelope! You can find older dated "envelopes with no coins" for sale all over e-bay. They're usually no more than new replacement envelopes. I've bought some myself for some of my older sets with roughed up packaging, but some sellers are ruthless enough to actually pass them of as original. Just be careful!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
