<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justawesome, post: 3146460, member: 90024&quot;]Am i missing something?&nbsp; I have always been a collector of proof coins in OGP but I have been curious of why any old Mint sets (mid- 1950&#039;s and earlier) could be worth anything more than face value.&nbsp; For two main reasons, 1) the cardboard (i&#039;ll attach some pics at the bottom) doesn&#039;t have an separator (polly/cello/anything) indicating that these are the original coins that came with the set.&nbsp; #2) Since these are business strike coins and missing ones (or particularly nice ones that someone wanted to remove and grade separately - then replace w a lesser quality coin).</p><p><br /></p><p>And as a personal preference i tend to dislike the toning that comes from the cardboard holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can any one the collects these give me a heads up why?&nbsp; ..is it really just the original gov cardboard backing..</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean PCGS has the 1947 as $2,700.&nbsp; Why?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few pics of a 1957 currently on the bay for $350</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you.&nbsp; I&#039;m genuinely curious.
