<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 2523030, member: 76792"]My rule is Proof Sets after 1990 seem to be stable in OGP, with exception to Silver Proofs from 1992-1998 are developing haze. Anything before 1990 has a risk of hazing in hard plastic OGP. 1964 and before Proof Sets in OGP are prone to hairline scratches and hazing so never handle them! I have all of mine in capsules and have no problem with them either hazing or scratching. They,re also easy to grade if not in the OGP. I send in the cameos for grading and just keep the rest for future sets.</p><p>As for mint set coins, most are hammered anyway and once in a blue moon, I find one that,s good enough to grade. The rest go into Dansco,s for the grand children. </p><p>As for the Ikes, etc...their OGP is horrible on the proofs so they,re treated the same as my proof sets would be. Silver Ikes in the OGP are tougher to grade so I treat them the same as I would the mint sets in OGP. Only time will tell for the modern OGP,s after 1990. If I live another 20 years or so, then maybe I,ll know the answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
