<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 16450, member: 578&quot;]There&#039;s a lot of hype in the title of that auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Unopened&quot;, &quot;Sealed&quot;, &quot;Never Opened-Could Contain DCAM Coins Worth Thousands&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are what experienced eBay buyers call &quot;red flags&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honest sellers know that coins sell themselves. There&#039;s no need to hype them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, this is another &quot;grab bag&quot; type auction. Nowhere does it say exactly what you will get for your money, only what you &quot;could&quot; get. That&#039;s a BIG red flag.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can buy these sets for for less than $16.99 + $3.00 S&amp;H all day long.</p><p><br /></p><p>One other note...</p><p>The people I have talked to, that bought boxes of proof sets fom the Mint in the 1960&#039;s, say that the envelopes, inside the boxes, were not sealed to begin with. It&#039;s no problem to take the coins out, make sure there are no &quot;DCAM Coins Worth Thousands&quot;, put them back in the envelope, lick the glue, seal the envelope, and advertise it as an &quot;Unopened&quot; proof set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t fall for this kind of hyped-up advertising, Vlad. It is clearly aimed at newbies, and is intended to separate them from their money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
