<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 481199, member: 66&quot;]I remember in my early days of collecting the full sets in frame were very expensive but out of the frame they were still expensive but nothing like the with frame sets.&nbsp; Oddly though you could buy the frames for about $200.&nbsp; You could by a set and a frame, put them together and have a framed set worth twice as much. I always thought it didn&#039;t make any sense.&nbsp; Now today whenever I see a framed set it is being broken up and the parts sold separately. At Central States two years ago I saw two original double sets that were going up for auction.&nbsp; They were numbered presentation sets with the documentation of the presentation, and they were being sold piece meal!&nbsp; You could buy the coins (individually), you could buy the frame , and you could buy the documentation.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t get it.&nbsp; To me those sets are much more important and valuable intact.&nbsp; As pieces they are just run of the mill coins, and what value are the presentation documents without the rest of the set?&nbsp; Very little, just a record that a set which no longer exists was once presented to so and so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
