<p>[QUOTE="Morgan, post: 71886, member: 3630"]I am unsure of the plastic used however I do know that once opened the set really can't be reclosed. The cases are sealed at the mint and the opening process breaks the plastic case beyond reuseable status. BTW resealing a case is generally considered to be a shifty or devious practice since that guarented quality can be altered. (Not that the mints quality standards are that great.)</p><p> </p><p>Some cases can be open and reseald but they aren't air tight. Take for instance the Westward journey nickle sets, the casses are made to be opened and resealed. In fact you can buy empty sets at Walmart. When I learned that I broke open every set I had and re-examined the coins. I put all of the good ones in direct fits and 2x2'ed the rest. And yes some of the coins in the sets were not UNC. I think I got them from E-bay though, so it's my own fault.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
