<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claw, post: 64142, member: 3699&quot;]this is an area that i have been trying to complete.I have noticed that the nicer sets come directly from the mint. And yes cherry picking is quite common from what I have found. Would&#039;nt you, as a dealer, pick out&nbsp; the 69 and 70 grade coins and replace with lower grade coins? Personally, I would not order online and only buy something that i can inspect in person. (though I am not degrading ALL online dealers) I am stating the facts as i see them.If you are just collecting for fun, then it probably would&#039;nt matter either way.My advice is to buy the book B4 the coins and know what you are looking for.Not all proof sets will have all 69 or 70 grade coins, but you might find one or two high grades in about four or five sets.(directly from the mint). So , if you are about quality , buy a handfull of sets from the mint.Although, I have had problems with them too. (cracked cases, hairs and debris inside the cases, spotted coinc ect.)And having orders cancelled at the last minute.</p><p><br /></p><p>I once had thought that the sonically sealed cases were opened by actually cracking the plastic. This is untrue.For anyone can slide thier fingernail between the two pieces of plastic and open them up. Check too see if the two pieces are (loose) .A few years ago, I had bought a 99&#039; silver set and noticed this.(that dealer will never see me again).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>CLAW[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
