<p>[QUOTE=&quot;walterallen, post: 187063, member: 4068&quot;]Although I agree with everyone on the subject of lost value of proof/mint sets when they are removed from their packaging, I have found that with sets that the cello is old and degrading, it is almost impossible to determine what grade of coin is beneath the package.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first started collecting proof sets I swore I&#039;d never break out a set and worked hard to put together brake outs in order to have sets for my displays. I have recently changed my attitude on this. I enjoy having original proof sets but I can&#039;t enjoy their beauty in this state. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have decided that my coins are for ME. I don&#039;t buy to sell, I buy to enjoy seeing them in their natural state. I&#039;m not syaing that this is what should be done it&#039;s just what I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
