these were always going to be opened so I didn't mind opening this box, the one with the other 3 sets in it I will probably leave sealed until I decide what I am going to do with the sets. I am not sure if I want to give them out as gifts or sell the other 3 sets and buy Christmas presents for those individuals. I usually spend around 100 a piece for nieces and nephews and such which came out good with the 20th anniversary sets because even though they cost 100 a piece they were worth around 300 a piece once they were received. These cost 300 but so far worth around 5-600 and I didn't get as many so may end up selling the other 3 and just buying them gifts with the money Quote: What do you think of the quality of the individual coins? What do you think they would grade? From the lookover I did with the naked eye I do not see any marks on any of the coins and I am guessing it would matter how lucky you are on what grade you get. I have never been able to tell the difference between a 69 and a 70 anyway so I am thinking it is just a luck of the draw on grading

I guess UPS will be very happy with the sealed box policy, the box is getting heavier every time.

I took the insert that holds the coins out to turn the coins that were turned sideways a little and when I set it on my desk I heard a snap, I was like Wow what happened, then I noticed a small screwdriver bit that was on my desk was attached to it. The insert has magnets made into both sides of the bottom of it. So if you lay it down and hear a snap like I did do not be scared you broke something, its just the magnets built into the insert that holds the coins

I saw somebody else selling who opened the box to take one out just for pictures. Once the box is opened the 3rd party graders won't slab the non unique coins with the special label. He actually hurt himself without even knowing.

UPS attempted to deliver my set but my elderly grandmother didn't hear the the door. Argh! Now it just says "a second attempt will be made."

Quote:I looked on ebay and I do not understand this seller. If he was going to sell all 5 sets why not leave them sealed instead of opening them like he did http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-25th-Anni...em2a15b7aa2b here is the answer:) "Who am I? I got a tip that these sets were going on sale, and I got lucky with a 12:07 confirmation email. I am not a dealer, seller, or a collector."

As I write this, the high bid is US $2,728.89, with just under twenty hours to go. I am sure he will have more than doubled his money by the time this one ends.
