<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 279691, member: 307&quot;]Yes, but... I might disagree with this particular coin. The coin is not available in any other option, so as with the 20th anniversary eagle sets, you don&#039;t need sealed gov&#039;t packaging to prove it&#039;s provenance. Also, and this is PURELY my humble opinion, in the past people would prefer to buy unopened products simply because that meant that they hadn&#039;t been cherry-picked. This has become much less of an issue with modern commemorative coins, because the quality of them all is nearly perfect. You are very unlikely to find a coin of any appreciable difference from one set to another, so no cherry-picking, hence no extra value for unopened. In fact, I would argue that I would rather have the opened and certainly undamaged coin vs. the unknown. I think most collectors of reason will soon also make this realization as well, but in the interim, you would be exactly right as to their preference for the unopened package.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
