[QUOTE="superc, post: 1624526, member: 44079"]I think uncirculated is different than proof. I see partial uncirculated sets on the bay fairly often. So you wouldn't be the first. Alternatively such a mutilated set is of course worth less than a non-mutilated set. The problem I see with opening a silver proof set is good luck identifying that coin 30 years later. Alternatively if it is still in the mint box, then telling which one is which is easy. Are you really proposing pulling a Cameo proof out of it's protector just to fill slots in someone's book?
