[QUOTE="dreamer94, post: 161080, member: 6449"][b]Unopened Proof Sets[/b] I recently obtained a number of pre-1965 proof sets. I noted that the return address of the envelopes said "Philadelphia 30, PA". At least some of the replacement envelopes offered for sale say simply "Philadelphia, PA". In addition, envelopes from 1956 and 1957 have the flap on the side of the envelope. Newer ones have the flap on the top. Interestingly (and suspiciously) the replacement envelopes dated 1956 and 1957 also have the flap on the top, similar to the newer ones. This is good evidence that the replacement envelopes are fake. I have tried to contact the US Mint to find out what the real envelopes look like, but so far I haven't gotten any information. Is anyone aware of whether any genuine US Mint envelopes omit the "30" in the return address? Was there a variation in the location of the flap?[/QUOTE]
