<p>[QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1370612, member: 35203"]Best way to tell if it's mint PMD from them packaging them or the coins were swapped is to look at the case very carefully. I crack out proof coins all the time and use a hammer to strike one corner that way the the coins aren't damaged and I can break the seam the rest of the way. Splitting the case into two halves. Of course I'm not looking to refill the packaging so I don't care about a damaged corner. If it was a more professional opening job you can still look at the seam around the case no matter how careful one is there will still be seperation between the two halves of the case. If you can run your finger nail and it goes into the seam then the case has been opened before. Plus you may even be able to open the case with that finger nail just like opening an airtite. There will be no seperation from the mint and the case can't just be pulled apart.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
