<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2698920, member: 69760&quot;]What&#039;s the difference between US proof sets issued in boxes (w/ soft plastic holders and tissue), and those issued in cellophane within envelopes? Is one an earlier release than the other? Or is the box simply a presentation box? But, wouldn&#039;t the coins be assembled into boxes all at one time for efficiency and logistical purposes; meaning that if they were put into boxes first, they&#039;d have relatively better strikes and cameos, and vice versa? But, I&#039;ve seen boxed proof coins selling with little to no cameo, while some cellophane sets have some cameo; though maybe that&#039;s because they switched out worn dies for new ones in between or during the two.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pics below are examples of what I mean and they were issued like that for some Walker sets and I believe it ended with Franklin sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Pics from the &#039;net</i></p><p><img src="http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mSxjL08y79WTiIZmdJYzsSg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <b><font size="6">vs&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/75/22/94/752294d2388b1c5a148d25257f1d96c5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
