<p>[QUOTE="COIN STASHER, post: 271504, member: 773"]Lately, I've been looking at many of the double mint sets on ebay, and have found a very few which are in bright white, pristine shape w/ little or no toning or carbon spots, etc. My question is: Can one really trust that such pristine sets have not been dipped, whizzed, cleaned or otherwise tampered with? I do not believe I have EVER seen double sets this pristine when packaged in their original government cardboard. All I've seen have lots of tarnish, toning, spots or discolorization of some type. One ebay seller went so far as to describe his originally toned sets as "not like the dipped babies other sellers offer." </p><p> </p><p>This kind of reminds me of another ebay ploy- "unopened proof sets." Most seem to believe those never existed. Anyway, I just would like to get some opinions on pristine mint sets ebay sellers offer, and whether or not in your opinions they are truly original and untampered with?! Thanks for your opinions![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
