BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 6:35 pm Do the original envelopes or even the boxes the coins shipped in add any value at all to a proof set? I have a lot of 60's proof sets with original envelopes and boxes. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 6:38 pm Numismatically speaking....no However people want to collect full sets and they want everything that ever came with it sometimes so it can add a small premium to the value. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 6:48 pm OK, so if I move any of these sets to like a binder I'm not going to hurt the value then. I have quite a few I'm keeping and wanted to be sure I can safely discard the 40+ year old nasty envelopes. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 6:52 pm Sometimes the original holders are quite important to collectors, but if they are ruined they are ruined. The condition of the coins is paramount. Report this Post to the Staff
Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 06/05/2007 7:01 pm Sometimes people like to have their mint products in the original envelopes or packaging. The nice thing about that, is that you can buy new envelopes that look exactly like the original ones on ebay. That is also a problem.... many of the sets selling on ebay as unopened sets, are in fact retreads. Report this Post to the Staff
garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 06/07/2007 4:47 pm you can get a few bucks for a box or envelope on ebay so don't get rid of them. like Becky said some collectors want them all complete. myself I break everything out mint and proof. I like them better in my books than in box's. I cant look at them in a box. so I have a stack of them and will put them on ebay soon. I used to send them to a dealer and he would make money on them till I found out I was giving away money lol Gary too Report this Post to the Staff
