[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1448768, member: 15929"]Original Mint Packaging doesn't mean a whole lot and folks really need to understand this. Having the original packaging for the set which was given to the King of Siam is one thing, having a 1964 Proof set in the original mint packaging is something completely different. Even original box sets from the 50's are susceptible to damaging the coins if stroed improperly. Any type of moisture will rust out the staple allowing the coin packages to float freely and ultimately damage the coins. For the OP's coins, dip em in E-Z-Est and forget the acetone. Once they're made right, put em in a Dansco or in 2x2's. Im not seeing any DCAM's here so they're pretty much considered common coins. Not trying to dismiss your concerns but both pieces are easily replaceable for just a couple of bucks. And thats the Truth.[/QUOTE]
