1997 Mint Release Of Morgan Dollars

Heh. Having watched him in action these last few years, I pretty much attribute to Conder101 himself these days, rather than whatever his original source might have been. If Conder says it, take it to the bank.

Apparently, this is the biggest secret in the history of the US Mint because I can find no record of this supposed sale anywhere Of course, pictures with the original post would have helped.

Superdave, I appreciate the vote of confidence but I'm not always right. On this one I am sure of everything except the date of when it occurred. And it was reported/discussed in Coin World when it happened. Mainly because of the gripes, so I'm not sure it would be found as an article. It might only be found in the letters to the editor. (People love to gripe about the Mint.)

Hi AtlantaCoin and welcome. It is always good to find and share something little known & unusual. Thanks.

Okay, so if there were only 321 of these released by the Mint, jeez, I mean, being that I have two...I gotta be sittin on a load of money. Think Heritage would be interested in auctioning? Lol

Thank you for your warm welcome. I look forward to a great time here.

Hi all -
I was looking through some boxes that have been in the back of my closet for years and found one of these. I vaguely remember buying it from the Mint back in the '90's. Didn't think much of it at the time. When it came in, opened it, was disappointed at how banged up it was, put it in a box with some other coins, shoved it into the back of the closet & forgot about it. Just rediscovered it. Anyone have any further info about these? I've spent hours searching the web and can't find out much about them.

Here's a few photos:

Now a double set is news to me. I thought they were all sold off individually.

I agree. Those are cool sets even if the coins are banged up. I had never heard of a 1997 mint release of historic silver dollars. I would love more info when available!
