Canadian 60th Anniversary of VE-Day

As I mentioned before, this beautiful and nicely arranged commemorative issue contains a sterling silver reproduction of the 1945 5-cent coin, complete with King George VI on the front. The set also features a bronze medallion. Both are inside of a tin, with great inserts.

The problem is that it came shrink wrapped and I desperately want to open it and see these treasures with my own eyes. The only reason I know that the inserts are nicely done is because I saw the picture of them from the person I bought the set from on eBay.

I’m not sure what merits may lie in keeping the shrink wrap intact. To be sure, original packaging is oh so important for collectibles such as action figures and PEZ dispensers. But what about a commemorative coin issue? Can there be any harm or loss in value from merely opening the container?

As long as the coin and medallion remain in whatever protective casing they’re in, the value shouldn’t be diminished at all. Naturally, there is a cardboard sleeve around the tin, which adds a very catching element to the packaging overall.

Besides all that, there are already tears in the shrink wrap. None so much that it looks anything less than pristine, but isn’t any value added by virtue of shrink wrap diminished with the tearing of said shrink wrap?

If the set is kept nicely and the sleeve is intact, does the value change without the shrink wrap?

I’m guessing no and will open it regardless so that my curiosity will finally be satiated.

  1. It was during my research on HIV/Herpes that I stumbled upon the Hiv/Herpes information; information which is quite easy to find when doing a search for STD on google. I was into conspiracy at the time thought of HIV/Herpes Cured' being a conspiracy was something Ignorance though,I found pretty interesting about herbal medicine. I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda.
