otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 12/26/2023 5:43 pm I just received these sets in the familiar brown envelopes. For resale purposes, would it be better to keep them sealed? I'll open them and take a look if it doesn't make them much less collectible. Thx.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 04:27 am You don't have to open it. Google unsealed mint sets and see what comes up. I think I have seen a few shows where Rick Tomaska has mentioned that the mint did not seal the envelopes before sending them out. Some sets get sealed from pressure and moisture and some on purpose by people who bought them.Not 100% sure though.There was some posts on cointalk about this subject as well.
