<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dima, post: 5399544, member: 18037&quot;]This past week I learned something new, which could be somewhat related to the toning question posted above.&nbsp; I believe I read it in &#039;A Guide Book of Franklin &amp; Kennedy Half Dollars&#039; by Rick Tomaska, but I can&#039;t seem to find the paragraph now that I&#039;m looking for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Essentially, it was talking about Franklin proof sets and that at one point in 70s/80s, it wasn&#039;t all too uncommon for folks to find the &quot;best&quot; proof sets with cameo coins, cut em open, and then repurpose the original mint packaging with other, authentic (albeit, non-cameo) proof coins.&nbsp; <u>I am not suggesting that this happened here</u>, however, to answer the question &quot;how can two coins in the same packaging tone so differently,&quot; it is hypothetically possible that this could&#039;ve occurred.&nbsp; The passage went on to say that if you place a US mint-sealed proof set next to a resealed set, you should be able to identify the minute difference due to the sealing pattern in the cellophane.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
