TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 10:15 pm These are souvenir sets sold at the gift shop of the Denver mint with a medallion of the Denver mint as the "sixth coin". They are collectible for what they are. The Denver mint produced these from 1972 to 1998 and the Philadelphia mint made a similar set with a different medallion from 1973 to 1998. I don't know what the San Francisco mint did but I think they made proof souvenir sets in a similar packaging. Not sure about that. I did get SBA dollars in souvenir packaging someplace along my collecting path but I think I since sold them. I had the 1982 and 1983 from both Phila and Denver and they brought really nice money when I sold them. Perhaps the prices realized were from spirited bidding between bidders that want to complete a run of these sets for their own collection? Report this Post to the Staff

Some of my favorite purchases are things I've bought after a few. That said, yes, SWI (shopping while intoxicated) can be dangerous indeed! I'll probably end up with 3-4 extra 25th anniversary ASE sets as a result. :) Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 10:29 pm Thanks everyone, I totally missed that they were souvenier sets. I actually have some of the souvenier coins gotten rather inexpensively from coin shows. I picked them up because I am a softie for those types of medals if they are in the reject bin! Maybe if we imbibe some, it will make more sense to us. Edited by CoinsKelly 09/17/2011 10:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
