[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 782424, member: 16510"][b]To me if it's on eBay to begin with it's not real anyway but it seems like this selle[/b] To me if it's on eBay to begin with it's not real anyway but it seems like this seller is saying exactly what I said - eBay first and formost is a joke but I know what I know. First Mint Sets were never sealed. Some people who bought 100 lot groups took them out and sealed them after for God only knows what reason. There is many fake envelopes, hell there is fake everything! Some groups of Proof sets (55 thru 64 were sealed but if on Ebay I'm certain they have been opened and searched then resealed. The 1950 thru 54, and some 55 came in samll boxes always sealed with 2 pc.'s of packing tape. There are ways to tell the fake envelopes such as color, printing. And finally eBay is a scourge to experienced coin collectors esp. when combined with terms such as unopened "anything" unsearched "anything" or,,, and this is the worst "die varieties" and a worn out Indian cent on the end of a wheat roll - if you buy these thing of eBay, (it pains me to even spell the word) you deserve all you are [B]not going to get![/B][/QUOTE]
