Either you are very trusting...to the 12:41 blogger.<br />Either you are very trusting or you are very ignorant to think that there won't be flippers,dealers,and tv show marketing replacing good coins with bad just to get a pr70 for a premium sale. Then sell the replaced coin C & C for the high premium. Many of these bulk graders get back PR68s and would love the opportunity to replace them in a set that would make them more money.It's all about money to them.they aren't collectors and could give a rats azz as to whether you get a good deal.I don't call that a conspiracy.I call it smart enough to buy only a mint sealed mailer box.You must be one of the flippers who opened your boxes LOL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-71586329421615304372009-10-21T15:09:25.064-07:002009-10-21T15:09:25.064-07:00I received my braille set in record time the set i...I received my braille set in record time the set i got was shrink-wrapped I believe it would be very difficult for the coin to be taken out of the set without damage.
