<p>[QUOTE="Specksynder, post: 951620, member: 22410"]Those bubble-like sealed cellophane sets are pretty tamper-proof (someone won't swap a coin without you noticing), but you do need to take a look at the coins. Not only did the mint send out some disappointing quality in those mint sets, but they often tarnished over time (especially the old silver ones -- they can get a cloudy haze that's really unattractive). So if you have the option, you definitely want to look at them instead of buying sight unseen. (Kinda like buying a carton of eggs, just take a look inside to make sure everything's ok.) By the way, I've also seen third-party sets like the mint sets, similar envelope and bubble-like cellophane, so watch for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that didn't really answer many of your questions, sorry <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
