<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 373941, member: 68&quot;]A lot of these haven&#039;t really been sealed all these years.&nbsp; They&#039;ve been steamed open and resealed or counterfeit envelopes have been bought for them.&nbsp; There are sets out there in unopened envelopes and they are worth a premium but you need more than just someone&#039;s word that they are unopened.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>They don&#039;t really lose value when they are opened.&nbsp; People are looking for nice gemmy coins, varieties, and most especially, cameos.&nbsp; Cameos are proof coins struck with acid etched dies that leave the devices and lettering white.&nbsp; These coins can be worth thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars and once you open it the buyer can see there is no cameo (and there probably won&#039;t be).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Opened ones sell for PROOF SET bid and they get a couple dollar to five dollar premium sealed.&nbsp; It&#039;s a nice premium for a 10c envelope.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I, personally, almost always open&nbsp; sets and rolls.&nbsp; Ya&#039; never know what you&#039;re gonna find till ya look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
