I don't know how wide spread the practice might be, but the old yellow envelope proof sets can be steam opened and reclosed.
Finding a DMC Franklin in 67-69 makes for a huge profit.

You can buy new envelopes for the flat pack proof sets from 1955 through 1964

I say you should open it to make sure all coins are proofs and in excellent condition

I have to ask a couple questions.
Did you buy the proof set for your collection?
Did you buy the proof set to sell at a later date?
Did you buy the proof set because you like this particular year/type/set?

I would want to see the coins with my own eyes. Why let the next person have all the fun?  |

There's a Quantum Physics joke in here somewhere.
I think the coins don't even exist until you open the envelope.
