Thanks for watching if there any thing you would like to watch let me know. The grading video will be one video of me sending and receiving the coins so that wont be till later down the road
You are still going to get finger oils on those coins after extended use with those thin cotton gloves...can see your skin through the weave. Consider double-gloving with latex underneath, THEN white cotton gloves over top. Own several sets of cotton gloves; use one for a bit then put in wash; store current pair in zip lock bag when not in use. Handle coins with coin tweezers by edge when possible. Stop coughing and heavy breathing around the coins; wear a facemask to avoid moisture droplets geting on coins that will show up later...found one or two of these years later on mine. Stop dropping coins on the table top...have a rubberized desktop mat(s) from Lighthouse Supply. I learned these lessons the hard way and coming back to my collection after 15+ years and upgrading from Dansco to Lighthouse storage systems...needed to replace several spotted/tarnished proofs from my early handling mistakes.
Interesting video. I have a 1971 S proof Eisenhower dollar that has a damaged case and some marks on the coin that I might open up for my Dansco album (it is the last one I need to complete the album. I also have some 2005 silver proof albums that I got from my aunt after she passed that I might crack open for my Dansco album, as the plastic has some mold spots on it.
So Well . My LCS has Crates full right now for $5.00 each . I found a Mint set of The Presidents collection from 1964 in there and I looked those are going for $35.00 on eBay right now , My LCS also has Walking liberty Halves at $10.00 each and to me that's cheap as I was Paying that for them in 2017 and I watched them go to to $14.00 during the Pandemic . The thing I do like and enjoy about the Mint and Proof sets is They are so clean and new that if you get them Graded your sure to get a good grade and they are fun to Look at . Also Some Really are worth more than the $5.00 for sure as an Investment . It's up to you if your going to buy less than $2,99 face for $5.00 Hey you might get Lucky , you never know :) QC
Now this year in 2023 I have been running into issue of these reverse proof mint sets specifically having toning issues. I have bought several of them on Ebay from different people and they have all had issues with toning. Maybe I am unlucky. The last set I just got only has slight toning on a few coins, so I am going to crack them out and put them in something better as these mint containers are not that great. I cannot believe they just leave one side open with no protection. These 2018 RP sets are not cheap either now running 90+ bucks a pop a ebay. Have a good one.
I don't get how you can have scratches on a a proof coin in the original govt. holder. I thought the mint went to all kinds of precautions to prevent that.
Interesting, I was going through my proof sets and found some very damaged coins in the case. I wonder if someone cracked it and changed the coins. Why else would they sell lenses, cases, COA, and boxes.
you can usually find the first pry mark on the sets and tell if they've been opened. I bought a bunch and found the same thing and each one had been robbed and replaced with circulation currency.
You better get one before this guy gets his mitts on it or he'll have it all tore up. So, good luck finding one. I have a 2019 S silver proof set i've been trying to sell, but so far no takers.
Love the info u have provided me with about proofs but I've been looking at videos on proof coins and I have seen any Denver mint proofs they all are Ps,Ss,w proofs but no Denver's that's weird because I have a multi error proof cent a(1969D/D Lincoln memorial proof cent it's identical to a 1969s u can't tell em apart
@25:09 you said "There's no scratch on Jefferson" when you were holing a quarter. I am sure you meant to say :Washington". Great video though. I enjoyed it. I have never seen sets cracked open!
I feel like if you buy the proof set, why not crack them? If you truly love coins, why would you want to keep them all in the case forever? If you crack them, you get to hold them (even if for a short while) to put them in individual cases so you can enjoy each coin on its own. If you sell them in the slab, it is so the next person knows they are not even touched, so essentially you are giving the joy of you owning it to someone else, then they do the same thing. Life is short; if you have a real love for something, who cares how you choose to enjoy your things. Some people personally like them more in the slab, but if you are sad that you need to keep them in the slab, you don’t have to. You do you.
This is just a warning to me to never buy proof sets online, since there is absolutely no way to know if it/they have been cracked open and cherry picked, leaving the dogs in the "proof set" that's suddenly up for auction as if it were new. In the meantime, the 69s and 70s that frankly 99% of these coins should grade if the mint manufactured them correctly, will never be found in a set since they're all slabbed and flipped 15 times until an actual collector finally decides to keep 'em.
I've been collecting on&off for a half century, but never had a coin graded. Your decision process, and coin wrangling is very interesting, very professional. Are you a seller on eBay?
I can't understand this grading theme. For me there is just no productive element in doing it. You pay some experts saying your coin looks nice and people pay more. If you buy a graded coin you just pay for the extra work and don't profit on long term value change just because there have to be a. Loser the old null sum theme.

don't do it !. you hurt my eyes.
Nice proof reverses! That’s awesome!
Among the many ways to potentially damage a coin is cracking them open from their hard plastic cases.
I'd rather keep mine intact , undisturbed
it doesn't matter because US proof sets are a dime a dozen
Im a keep it in the case guy, so I got to vicariously enjoy the experience of crackin er open through you lol. 👍
Good video. Real mechanics of prepping grading coins...

those proofs are cool
keep dropping the coins

Good job!
Love these new reverse proofs
Me too
I did not even know that they existed. I wonder how many the mint cranks out in a typical year... I'm managing a cost about $200 from the mint.
Are you grading them so you can sell after or its just something you do for your collection?
super great coins
Ok, so not buying mint proof sets off eBay anymore.
I’ve always wanted to open a proof set and just handle the hell out of them with my bare hands!!! I just need to know what a proof coin feels like!
I wasted $4 to handle a 84 Kennedy Proof. Felt awesome. Best $4 I ever spent.
Miles Farmer good to know I’m not the only one! Thanks
i should try this sometime ive always wanted to do it too

Just the video I’ve been looking for, how to open a proof set. Thank you
It would be nice to hear what they sold for

Enjoyed the video thank you. Can you create a video on how to crack the 80’s and 80’s (Black hard plastic) mint sets.

David,
I've seen a few coin processing videos and noticed the potential for scratches and dings to occur.
Interesting, I was going through my proof sets and found some very damaged coins in the case. I wonder if someone cracked it and changed the coins. Why else would they sell lenses, cases, COA, and boxes.
you can usually find the first pry mark on the sets and tell if they've been opened. I bought a bunch and found the same thing and each one had been robbed and replaced with circulation currency.
so most the sets on ebay have been rat fu***.
How much does it cost to grade this 1 half dollar with ngc?
it all depends on how fast attributions pictures and stuff but typically its around 20 dollars a coin
I gotta get my hands on one of these someday soon before they get expensive and rare. ( I am sure they will)
You better get one before this guy gets his mitts on it or he'll have it all tore up. So, good luck finding one. I have a 2019 S silver proof set i've been trying to sell, but so far no takers.
They Only Made 199,177 Sets Of The 2018 Reverse Silver
The plastic cases can’t be re sealed can they, in any year? Or can they?
Well I saw you put it back together lol can you do this for all years with the plastic case, if anyone knows
Not really you have to break the plastic a bit but they will go back together but are like stuck together any more lightly press fited
Boy, I thought I had alot of proof sets. Yours look like they may be silver?
Love the info u have provided me with about proofs but I've been looking at videos on proof coins and I have seen any Denver mint proofs they all are Ps,Ss,w proofs but no Denver's that's weird because I have a multi error proof cent a(1969D/D Lincoln memorial proof cent it's identical to a 1969s u can't tell em apart
What's the point? I see a lot of these slabbed pr69 quarters going anywhere from $7 to $12 on ebay.
yes but thins was when they were just relesed so there was still all the hype and prices were higher
@@garrettscoins227 Ahhh, I see. Make hay while the sun shines, right?
@@carlosmatos9848 exacly and i over doubled what i payed for them at the time so im happy
Ill never crack open a set
@25:09 you said "There's no scratch on Jefferson" when you were holing a quarter. I am sure you meant to say :Washington". Great video though. I enjoyed it. I have never seen sets cracked open!
Every time I buy those flips, they already have all kinds of dirt and dust in them
Bro ! I don’t care take your time and keep making videos like this teaches us a lot keep up the work !
I will not be as radical as to say I’d never break up a set, I know better. But, let’s just say it’s not my preference.
Do you collect modern day US gold coins at all? I’m a big fan of the 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle… underrated coin, like a gold dime
I feel like if you buy the proof set, why not crack them? If you truly love coins, why would you want to keep them all in the case forever? If you crack them, you get to hold them (even if for a short while) to put them in individual cases so you can enjoy each coin on its own.

Crack’em 😁

That's a lot of work and initial expense just to make a few bucks. I can do better just by working a couple hours overtime and then go have a beer.
Yeah it is a lot of work, but after paying off the inital expense and selling everything i was left with all the silver quarters
I've been collecting on&off for a half century, but never had a coin graded.
Your decision process, and coin wrangling is very interesting, very professional.

Nooooooooo
I can't understand this grading theme.

I agree to an extent if the coin is already in a slab its kinda pointless but on the other hand if its old and rare its worth getting it slabbed
And then you turn around...
And go make money in you're world !
It is NOT what YOU'RE watching that you can NOT understand !
video makes me cringe....lol.
Those coins hadnt been touched since they were put into the holders.
Enjoyed the video thank you. Can you create a video on how to crack the 80’s and 80’s (Black hard plastic) mint sets.
