Here we have an example of the ATB 3-coin sets that are released for every issue of the ATB Quarters. This one happens to be Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, which is located in the State of West Virginia. Due to the plastic packaging, these were an absolute bear to photograph in my office, so I took one that showed off the coin reverses directly and then 2 from a severe angle to kill the glare. To this day I am still highly disappointed that these 3-coin sets aren't 4-coin sets to include the S business strikes. Oh well. Coin reverses and major glare of front of packaging:  Front of packaging:  Back of packaging (I have tried 12 ways to get this picture to flip 180° and can't do it. I quit. Use your MENSA skills to picture this right-side-up.):  Edited by CelticKnot

Here's the Blue Ridge Parkway Three-Coin Set. My local coin club gives these out as an "Appreciation Award" at different times throughout the year.   Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Susuman, an absolutely beautiful mint set from the last year of the Walking Liberty half. Seeing the envelope brought the thought to mind "Always zone your mail!" from the days before zip codes. |

I was going through my coin drawer tonight after work to straighten things up and came across these little gems: The Westward Journey Nickel First Day Coin Covers. There were 5 in all, 2 for the issues in 2004, 2 for the issues in 2005, and 1 for the "Return to Monticello" issue in 2006. I find these PNCs/FDCCs very attractive and informative. 2004 Peace Medal  2004 Keelboat  2005 American Bison  2005 Ocean in View  2006 Return to Monticello  |

Got my 1st Proof set. Needed it for the Ike, but I think the rest of the coins look good to. Came with sleeve but didn't take picture of it. This is also my 1st Proof Kennedy half, Quarter, Dime, and nickel.   Gonna have to get a few more of these for sure. Maybe a 1975 set since I need the Ike in it to complete my "S" minted Ikes.
