<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnGalt, post: 435195, member: 13370&quot;]Thanks for the input. I am asking primarily about the 1950&#039;s and early 60&#039;s sets in the original US Mint envelopes. &quot;Unopened&quot; means the plastic wrap is intact; &quot;Sealed&quot; means the envelope has not been opened. I see quite a few at shows and on eBay. How is one to judge the condition of the coins inside? I&#039;ve seen toned coins in unopened wrap.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to investment v. enjoyment, that is not an issue for me. I like coins, and am thinking of putting together a proof/year set starting at my date of birth. I like buying the best quality I can afford. There is some adventure or mystique to opening the sealed sets, but I&#039;ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I just don&#039;t want to open the set and find unattractive coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
