<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quarter-back, post: 1919134, member: 47022&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t be too concerned with opening proof sets, especially the early 70s stuff.&nbsp; It is quite likely that you won&#039;t even be the first person to open any given set.&nbsp; I was at a coin shop once and watched the owner swapping out coins between sets.&nbsp; He just pushed the coins into the holder with his fingers.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, I bought three proof sets (1971, 1988, 1998) over the weekend at a local auction.&nbsp; They were in closed boxes, but I still buy them to look for varieties.&nbsp; Anyway, the store owner gives out a twenty dollar bill to a lucky drawing winner if he or she has at least three high bids. After subtracting out the 3 three dollars each that I paid for the proof sets , I ended up taking home home 11 bucks more than I arrived with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
