[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3973, member: 112"]I have to agree with the previous comments regarding what the sets are and what the boxes likely contain. Now as to your question as to whether you should open them or not - that depends. Say you were to offer the sets for sale on ebay - unopened sets can and do sometimes bring a premium over opened sets. This is because of the gamble involved - some folks are willing to take the chance that the sets may contain GEM coins. The potential downside to you of selling unopened sets is for the same reason. If one or more of the sets does contain GEM quality coins or coins with a strong cameo - you could be passing up a substantial premium. For Proof coins with a strong cameo can sometimes sell for hundreds of dollars - each. Now the odds are high that the sets do not contain such coins. It is likely the sets contain ordinary Proof sets that sell for $15 0r $20 each - perhaps less. So only you can decide what to do. Do you gamble - or not ?[/QUOTE]
