adsway New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 12:11 am I have an opened envelope1957 P.C. proof set, originally from the us mint. Does it make a value difference to take out of the Cello wrapper and put in a Capitol holder? Thanks for the feedback in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 01:18 am Proof coins/sets prior to 1955 were not packaged as securely and often benefit from Capital Holders. If your 1957 is still in the cellophane then it is probably alright. If not, then go with Capital as you'll feel better. Simply opening the brown mailing envelope should not have an effect.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 08:08 am If I recall correctly the envelope for proof sets of that time were NOT sealed. Get suspicious if one is offered with a sealed envelope. But that doesn't answer your question. If you don't see any unsightly toning on your set there's no reason to put into a Capitol holder. And a set in a Capitol holder should be as valuable. Report this Post to the Staff

It makes sense, though, to expect this to change in the long run as more and more sets are cracked, even though it's a relatively high mintage. Me, if the original cellophane is intact, that's where I'm keeping it. Report this Post to the Staff

I was going to buy the 1955 set and the price was all over the place. un-open box almost $200 flat-pack $110-$140 box $80-$120 Capital holder $70-$85 I did end up buying the 57 in capital holder for $23.
