The OGP has been opened. I see tape on the OGP and it looks like Tape on the plastic/coin holders. That was a given, I was looking for something nefarious. I doubt anyone didn't see the tape.
I was saying $300 maybe high for hazy, blotchy coins. The eye appeal reduces the value for me that is.

That was a given, Well, yes the 'OGP box was opened - I wasn't referring to that. having the box opened is ok to me. I was referring to the tape on the cello (I guess I should have notated that), my concern here is - were the coins taken out and replaced with others? I found another by a different seller with tape on the cello packages. in this sellers notes further down you can click to enlarge the pictures. Did the Mint use tape this year to secure the cello? https://www.ebay.com/itm/393878210937 |

Suggest sending a message to the seller, asking about what appears to be tape on the cello. Maybe ask for a pic or two which shows all the coins together--within the packaging.

I don't believe that is tape. I believe that is actually what the original cellophanes looked like.

Tough call. If the seller hasn't responded, I'd walk away--but that's just me. Follow your gut.
