<p>[QUOTE="duma, post: 373853, member: 14588"]Hi. I'm new here, and joined, because I have a question, I thought someone could help me with. I've asked a friend in the coin collecting business if he had any 1958 uncirculated coins to give a friend who's turning 50. He gave me (to look over) a few coins that are in excellent (very shiny, looks new) shape, and are in plastic folders. it says 1958 "proof" on them. a washington quarter, and a franklin 1/2 dollar. And he also gave me a sealed brown envelope that looks old, and says 1958-P.C. in the lower left corner on the front of the envelope, and is stamped with Treasry Department, United States Mint, Philadelphia 30, PA. He says it's a set of uncirculated mint coins from 1958, but says I can't open the sealed envelope! Well, I'm trying to decide whether I want to buy this, but is it weird that the envelope itself is sealed? If I do buy it, shouldn't I at least open it to see what I'm giving to someone? I completely trust and know the family of the man selling me the coins. That's not the issue. He said it was sealed when he bought it, and asked me to keep it sealed. Is this common? It's a brown envelope, so I have no idea what's in it! Can any of you help?</p><p> </p><p>thanks.</p><p> </p><p>duma[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
