Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 06:57 am General question and comments I notice that sometimes folks are selling UN opened boxes (very recent releases) from the US Mint OR other sources where they get the coins from. The UN opened boxes contain one's personal info and I understand the little extra premium etc... My 2 cents -- Personally there is no way I would sell something to a total stranger with my info in the box regardless of price. I would like to hear others opinions especially from those who have sold OR bought OR thinking about selling etc. Admin / Mod -- Please move the post if this needs to reside elsewhere. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 10:05 am Not sure who would take the chance buying anything without seeing the product. I wouldn't. Those type of boxes are to easily opened and glued shut again. With a Hot Wheel car you can see the item inside but with a cardboard box with who knows what inside, it's really scarry to buy one sight unseen. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 2:15 pm I have never understood why people would pay a premium for coins/sets that have not been opened. I suppose it is a spillover from the toy collectors; but with toy packaging, one can usually see what is inside (because of the clear packaging). Personally I want to see what is inside. I bought the coin (or coins), not the shipping container. I have not met an "sealed in the box" proof set or roll of coins that I have not busted open.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/18/2011 1:57 pm I think the only reason to buy unopened boxes is if its a special set that can be pieced together or to get early release slab. Both of these are only if you are getting the coins graded by a TPG Report this Post to the Staff
