<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bama guy, post: 310494, member: 6154&quot;]Well it really depends on what you mean by benefit. If you want this entire&nbsp; set certified by either PCGS or NGC and probably the more respected TPG, you would have to submit this set to them in the original mint sealed box. Since they made a number of the regular&nbsp; one-half ounce proof coins earlier this year,&nbsp; this would be the only they can tell if it were part of the original set. If that is important to you.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are thinking of selling this at a later date, there &quot;may&quot; be a premium for the unopened box as opposed to the opened box. The possibility of receiving a 70 grade and the first strike designation by PCGS (probably others) is important/valuable&nbsp; to some people. The secoundary market prices&nbsp; would suppose this premise. Right or wrong that is the name of that tune.&nbsp; If someone has one of these beautiful sets and still leave them in the unoped box without at least seeing one in person, then they are a much stronger person that I </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like NGC will not designate these sets as &quot;early release&quot; While Pcgs will use the &quot;first strikes&quot; label if submitted in the time frame. I have noticed that NGC is not routinely using this &quot;Early release&quot;&nbsp; label. Some examples are the Gold anniversary set, the First spouse gold coins and now the Platinum anniversary sets which NGC did not label as First stikes or early releases.&nbsp; Think all this early release stuff has give me a first strike headache.&nbsp; I go now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
