A tricky age old dilemma is this question of NOS If a frame set is removed from its original packaging and handled with gloved hand, it remains NOS, as soon as the gloves are off and contact is made with human skin, it is no longer NOS.It is essential therefore that it remains within its original packaging at all times, but for those special occasions when you want to hold it and give it a cuddle, glove up
Doesn't matter if its been handled! Once it's been built its no longer Nos
I'm getting nervous getting the latest one out the wrapper !

Once it's been built its no longer Nos I am not suggesting that once built it then retains its 'Nos'ness' .......... but if you wear gloves whilst holding the frame set (without building it up of course) - it remains NOS The key is, wearing gloves

Danny.But your coins and brooches are not NOS are they I am guessing they are pretty used, albeit sometime ago
I'm of the opinion that as soon as any part is fitted its game over
