<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sturmgrenadier, post: 1215274, member: 18711&quot;]<span style="color: #222222"><font face="Times New Roman">I have recently become interested in collecting earlier proof sets. When I go to shows and look online, I see many proof sets from the late 1950&#039;s and 1960&#039;s that are stored in hard plastic cases (like the Capital brand). Does the fact that they no longer have the original Treasury mailing envelope, informational insert and are no longer stored in the original flexible plastic the Mint placed them in decrease their value (to most collectors and dealers)? I like the presentation value of some of these post-Mint hard plastic cases (they look really nice), but should I ever have to sell them, I wonder if they would sell at a discount sans their original packaging/documentation? As far as reselling someday, I guess there might be a penalty to pay for collecting the way I have described, but I&#039;m sure some would say you can&#039;t put a value on the amount of enjoyment you get from collecting the way you like. Thanks.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Times New Roman"></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
