Regardingthe Condition of the Packaging of Proof and Mint Sets

PROOF ANDMINT SETS ARE THE BEST COINS THE U.S. MINT PRODUCES

\"We areselling coins not packaging.\"

Our sets areabove market standards as traded between dealers.

These sets havepassed through one or more hands since they left the mint.

Althoughall our proof and mint sets come with the outer box/envelope those\"envelopes\"are ALLin \"used\" condition and willevidence \"handling\" and \"wear\".

Theolder the sets, the more evidence of handling. None of the imperfections in theouter wrappers affect the condition of the coins enclosed. Sets from 1955 to1967 are over a half century old while sets from 1968 to 1984 are 1/3 of acentury old. The outer wrappers are literally paper thin and have been handledby previous owners who opened these wrappers to look at their coins. Even thepaper \"boxes\"/wrappers of very recently issued sets will show thatthe box has been opened if you CAREFULLY open and close it one time.

We do our bestto have an inventory of the \"freshest\" \"cleanest\" packagedsets we possibly can but please be advised that if you expect \"mintfresh\"\"perfect\" new paper coverings we cannot service yourorder as we cannot favor one buyer over another by cherry picking the mostperfect wrappers for one person.

Gradingservices do not value the wrappers in which the coins are housed. They do notgrade them. In fact, they are responsible for destroying 10\'s of thousands ofthem each month as they break them open to grade the coins enclosed.

Thecoins have value. The wrappers do not. As a buyer you have the right to acquirethe condition of the wrapper you wish. We will answer any question you have asto the condition of the wrapper you will receive. They will all be in somestate of used condition.

The hard plasticcases are subject to small stressfractures either when originally encasedor as they age.

Although all ourproof/mint sets are mint sealed and in some cases hermetically sealed in flatair tight plastic cellos, like proof sets 1955-1964, that air tight packagingcontains the original airborne contaminantsof that air pocket.ALLproof and uncirculated sets will show some sign of interaction with micro atomcontaminants over time (toning) if you put \"enough\" magnification oneach coin in any proof and mint set.(We have even seen human fingerprints on hermetically sealed mint sets 1959-1964 which proves that not allmint employees wore their gloves when handling these uncirculated coins forpackaging.)

Here is a copy of thenote placed in early mint-sealed proof sets by the Mint Superintendentbeginning in 1956:

YourU.S. Proof Coins--have been carefully inspected before release! If there shouldappear--what may seem to you--a defect or a scratch on a coin--it is no doubt acrease in the polyethylene-coated cellophane in which they are encased. We tellyou this to save us both unnecessary correspondence. THANK YOU!

Sooner or later your Proof Coins may show evidence of oxidation (tarnish ordiscoloration). We have chosen materials and methods of packing that we hopewill delay this possibility, but we cannot assume responsibility for oxidation.Please do not ask us to make exchanges or adjustments.
Thank You!
(Mrs.) Rae V. Biester,
Mint Superintendent

(from1956)

IF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE MINT PLACED THIS NOTEIN PROOF SETS OF COPPER AND SILVER IN THE YEAR OF ISSUE, IMAGINE THE\"TONING\" OR CHANGES IN COLOR THAT NORMALLY OCCURS IN U.S. PROOF/MINTSETS OVER THE YEARS.

Please do not expect your proof/mint coins to lookas they did the day the mint struck them. From the moment they are struck themetal begins to interact with the catalysts of air, light, temperature, andatoms in the air and the microcontaminants that may be in the airtighthermetically sealed proof/mint sets themselves. The irony is that there is abig market with big premiums for the most \"colorful\" toning that someofthese conditions produce.

If you have anyquestions/concerns about proof/mint set condition, please message us prior topaying for your order.
