<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1920887, member: 112&quot;]Not only are people entitled to believe whatever they want, most <u>will</u> believe what they want, and only what they want, to believe. That is why cons work, because before the fact, people want to believe that they stand to gain, and after the fact because they want to believe that they were not gullible enough to allow someone to take advantage of them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there are lots and lots of possibilities. But how many probabilities are there ? </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, never once have I ever seen a report from someone who actually bought direct from the mint that said the sets were sealed, not once in 15 years and many thousands of reports. And I myself bought direct from the mint and not one was ever sealed. Also, I collected original Mint and Proof sets for many years, decades. And every coin show I went too during that time I searched through sometimes as many as 500-600 hundred of sets at each show. So over the years I looked at say 20-30,000 sets. And the vast majority of them had never been sealed. </p><p><br /></p><p>No, that is not anywhere near the millions that were produced, but it is a significant number. And couple what I have seen myself with thousands of other reports from those who bought direct from the mint who categorically state the sets were never sealed; and then couple that with the idea of the con where someone stands to gain from getting others to believe the sets have never been seen because they were sealed, and you have one very high probability - the sets were never sealed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is, what makes more sense ? To believe in possibilities ? Or to believe in probabilities ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
