<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnGalt, post: 435518, member: 13370&quot;]Many thanks to those who have responded. My inclination is to examine unsealed sets for quality, keeping the envelope for the sake of authenticity. The notion of counterfeit envelopes was a revelation: for such relatively small stakes, someone would sell their soul for a few dollars....pitiful.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is amusing to see the eBay &#039;ticklers&#039; such as &quot;could be an ultra cameo, double-die xyz worth $$$$ inside&quot; on the auction. Logically, there <i>could</i> be anything from slugs to PF-70&#039;s inside, so what&#039;s the point? I&#039;ve been told there is a 10% premium for &quot;sealed&quot; sets, but knowing that they sometimes have been issued unsealed places a premium on the ability to examine the coin. Sort of an extrapolation of &quot;buy the coin, not the slab (envelope)&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Once again, many thanks to those who took the time to respond, and also to refer me to previous threads.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
