Regarding the Condition of the Packaging of Proof and Mint Sets

PROOF AND MINT SETS ARE THE BEST COINS THE U.S. MINT PRODUCES

"We are selling coins not packaging."
Our sets are above market standards as traded between dealers.
These sets have passed through one or more hands since they left the mint.
Although all our proof and mint sets come with the outer box/envelope those "envelopes" are ALL in "used" condition and will evidence "handling" and "wear".

The older the sets, the more evidence of handling. None of the imperfections in the outer wrappers affect the condition of the coins enclosed. Sets from 1955 to 1967 are over a half century old while sets from 1968 to 1984 are 1/3 of a century old. The outer wrappers are literally paper thin and have been handled by previous owners who opened these wrappers to look at their coins. Even the paper "boxes"/wrappers of very recently issued sets will show that the box has been opened if you CAREFULLY open and close it one time.

We do our best to have an inventory of the "freshest" "cleanest" packaged sets we possibly can but please be advised that if you expect "mint fresh" "perfect" new paper coverings we cannot service your order as we cannot favor one buyer over another by cherry picking the most perfect wrappers for one person.

Grading services do not value the wrappers in which the coins are housed. They do not grade them. In fact, they are responsible for destroying 10's of thousands of them each month as they break them open to grade the coins enclosed.

The coins have value. The wrappers do not. As a buyer you have the right to acquire the condition of the wrapper you wish. We will answer any question you have as to the condition of the wrapper you will receive. They will all be in some state of used condition.

The hard plastic cases are subject to small stress fractures either when originally encased or as they age.

Although all our proof/mint sets are mint sealed and in some cases hermetically sealed in flat air tight plastic cellos, like proof sets 1955-1964, that air tight packaging contains the original airborne contaminants of that air pocket. ALL proof and uncirculated sets will show some sign of interaction with micro atom contaminants over time (toning) if you put "enough" magnification on each coin in any proof and mint set. (We have even seen human finger prints on hermetically sealed mint sets 1959-1964 which proves that not all mint employees wore their gloves when handling these uncirculated coins for packaging.)

Here is a copy of the note placed in early mint-sealed proof sets by the Mint Superintendent beginning in 1956:

Your U.S. Proof Coins--have been carefully inspected before release! If there should appear--what may seem to you--a defect or a scratch on a coin--it is no doubt a crease in the polyethylene-coated cellophane in which they are encased. We tell you this to save us both unnecessary correspondence. THANK YOU!(over)Sooner or later your Proof Coins may show evidence of oxidation (tarnish or discoloration). We have chosen materials and methods of packing that we hope will delay this possibility, but we cannot assume responsibility for oxidation. Please do not ask us to make exchanges or adjustments.Thank You!(Mrs.) Rae V. Biester,Mint Superintendent

(from 1956)

IF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE MINT PLACED THIS NOTE IN PROOF SETS OF COPPER AND SILVER IN THE YEAR OF ISSUE, IMAGINE THE "TONING" OR CHANGES IN COLOR THAT NORMALLY OCCURS IN U.S. PROOF/MINT SETS OVER THE YEARS.

Please do not expect your proof/mint coins to look as they did the day the mint struck them. From the moment they are struck the metal begins to interact with the catalysts of air, light, temperature, and atoms in the air and the micro contaminants that may be in the airtight hermetically sealed proof/mint sets themselves. The irony is that there is a big market with big premiums for the most "colorful" toning that some of these conditions produce.

If you have any questions/concerns about proof/mint set condition, please message us prior to paying for your order.
