[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 745245, member: 16510"][b]No such thing especially on eBay.[/b] No such thing especially on eBay. This is a pipe dream to believe any longer esp. on eBay. There was once boxes of unopened proof sets there were legit but even those are mostly likley opened and then sealed or re-packaged in copy cat envelopes. Yes we now have those. I have had groups of 1970 mint sets sealed and thought (99%) they were original. So I would take it to the bank that anything on eBay is contrived. Some one else may know if and when the mint sealed envelopes and if so when they stopped. eBay is there for one reason (99%) of the time to sell you the illusion of getting more when in fact you will get less. I believe this is (100%) true when it comes to claims of original rolls, proof sets, die varieties and so called rare coins.[/QUOTE]
