I'm sure a bunch of those 2000 68 and below PCGS coins and 700 or so NGC coins have been converted into original Government package sets. There will never be a shortage of something that can be created so easily.
I've made two nice looking sets this way....

I'm also still sitting on my unopened box. It only has one set in it, but perhaps that will be a selling point in the future? Well, I can at least tell myself that.

All of the reverse proofs I had came back ngc 70 - and the S mint ones - looks like several of them all had spots on the back where the dies were dirty or something. Still graded 70 on a few and 69 on the rest - but it was tough to tell the difference.
One set I picked up had the W as a 68 - but it looks the same as the 69's.

I opened, then sold 3 for $625 each. I'm now offering the last two for sale and will now see how to do that on this site...

An unopened box is definitely has a few pluses.. ...all 5 coins are eligible for the 25th Annie label ...if you're a PCGS fan then it is probably First Strike eligible (depending on shipping date and importance to you personally) ...most important...it has not been picked over and created with low grade coins. This, in my mind, is the biggest plus for the unopened box

agreed morgans dad let everyone else send their remaining sets in haha! foxwoods good point you made about opened OGP sets - they can be recreated with 68s since I have seen you can buy empty OGP boxes. So our sealed boxes are the creme of the crop !

from the last sets that sold the most recent OGP set sold for about 50 bucks more than the most recent MS/PF-69 set sold for and the shipping was over $6.00 more on the OGP set

I was at a coin show a couple weeks ago and talked with a guy who bought a PCGS PR/MS69 First Strike set with OGP. I think he paid about $850 but wouldn't tell me the exact amount. He was very happy when I valued them at $800 while admitting he paid a bit more than that!

I'm sorry but I can't just look at a $4k cardboard, just so unfulfilling. I just bought the 3 common coins in MS70 for $360 from a guy off ebay. So buy my math with shipping I have about $800 in an NGC ER MS70 set, not bad. If you take the $3700 I got for my sets I'm up $1,400 and I have an MS70 set. I am thinking about a 20th anniversary set now. If anyone has a ms70 set of them I would be willing to trade some gold/silver just shoot me an email.

Quote: the most recent OGP set sold for about 50 bucks more than the most recent MS/PF-69 set A lot of people will attribute this to the possibility of the RP and S coming back "70", but the relative scarcity of OGP Sets is starting to factor in. Quote: opened OGP sets... can be recreated with 68s You only need "68"-grades for the RP and S, the other three are very affordable as 69's.  And, who's to say those "68" RP and S coins couldn't get "69" grades when re-submitted?    Quote: PCGS has graded... all the way down to MS62 Must be the coins that escaped from their OGP capsules during shipping, inadvertently creating "sliders".  And since the Mint boxes were sent unopened to PCGS/NGC, even more opportunities arose for capsules (and coins) to become dislodged.   Any grade below PCGS 68 could be the result of such damage. Four of the capsules in my five boxes escaped from their slots, but the capsules remained sealed and the coins were none the worse for wear.
