YAY for the Olympics when people are not on the bay I get cool buys.
If you find the link you can tell by the bids I really wanted it he he.
Now does anyone know the history of these things, did they get flown over or by sea.
And were the coins loose in the bag or were they in rolls or baggies.
Where do you even start to learn about us bank bags.

Google or maybe some of the US forum members might have an idea. Good luck AC. |

You got a bargain imo. Good for you!
I'm pretty sure they would have been shipped loose within the bag as those directly from the mint always are.

I just tried google & nothing with 4 different searches.  Maybe contacting the san fransisco mint could be worth a try. Edited by appleangel07

Well worth what you paid AC and ten times more at least. But a keeper I reckon so you'll never know.

Where do you even start to learn about us bank bags. I don't know about the 3d's but US minted florins were shipped by sea from the USA to Australia in bags. Those bags were handled very roughly on the docks prior to either being distributed in bags or being rolled by banks. This is why war minted florins are typically very baggy. A dealer told me this when we were going through some rolls of 1944S florins that he let us open. |
