  Certainly no more that it costs to buy the empty box on eBay...

  1996 is one of the key dates. I'd get a new box or have them graded. The UNC's are very low mintage and are worth a lot more than the 4 pc proof which can be had for $599. If this were a proof set I'd still pay north of $500 for it, no idea on the UNC's but you shouldn't lose that much if someone was wanting to get them graded and the coins looks good. Love the boxes and I think in 20 years everyone else will too since many many coins in the $5 comm series are either missing boxes, melted (common dates), or are presently in slab and no one is really saving the OGP for the most part but can be had if you look hard enough on Ebay.
  
  My worst fears are as gold goes up fakes will end up in some of the better date boxes. The 1996's are the only year I'm lacking in my Silver Dollar and $5 gold set all of the better dates in my set is in proofs.
