Sure, if you're gonna break the proof coins out of the packaging and sell them separately, then yes, buy the coins, not the packaging.  Some advice easily found on the net:     "If the coin (or set of coins) you're considering buying isn't listed in the Greysheet, you might want to reconsider ~ and for the Greysheet values to be valid for your coin(s), your coin(s) must be in the original box or packaging, with the original papers that it came with when it was originally sold by the U.S. Mint.  Without the original box and papers in nice condition, the coin(s) will bring less than Greysheet prices.  (Original boxes and papers are for things like proof sets, mint sets, commemorative coins and sets, US Eagle bullion coins, etc.)"  <a href="http://www.coinbidders.com/warning.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinbidders.com/warning.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinbidders.com/warning.asp</a>[/QUOTE]
