upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 09:09 am I wouldn't buy it because I could not take the inner turmoil. I would not be able to resist opening it and in doing so would kill the cool factor. There can't be too many of those around. Owning it would stress me out and I need a 1955 proof set. On the other hand, how can you not buy it? See, the idea is already killing me. Report this Post to the Staff

Sure,but the odds are much higher that there isn't. There is also a chance the coins are spotted or damaged. Probably a better chance than there being a high grade deep cameo Franklin in the box. Buying an unopened set like this probably pays best by leaving it unopened and then later selling it to someone else who has unrealistic dreams of finding treasure inside.

DeLoss Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 06/30/2020 9:06 pm Nice pic muddler . Fine example . The price might go up 5 or 10 bucks but I wouldn't see a true collected to be concerned about the seal . Catch you a newbie and might get what you want . The thing I've learned , especially the hard way, is to be PATIENT . You will get what you ask , it's just a matter of time . Report this Post to the Staff
Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 06:16 am Looking at sold items on ebay the sets opened sell around $100-$120. Unopened ones seem to be $175 to just under $200. No idea what the shop is asking for it in relation to what they could sell it for. If it's around $125 or so it's probably a decent deal for what it is. The sealed 1955 boxes have more attraction because unlike the enveloped cello 1955s they haven't been opened and viewed and may contain higher grade coins or pleasant toning ect. It's a "blind box" attraction and like everyone has dug through and cherry picked the envelope sets by now. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19945 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 4:47 pm In my experience, the mint didn't protect the coins in those well (just cellophane) and the vast majority in the OGP have been stored improperly and contain undesirable coins (in general).
