HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 27514 Posts	Posted 10/15/2022 2:32 pm This item was part of a collection I purchased many years ago. It's a paperweight containing a 1958 uncirculated US coin set from Mellon Bank as distributed by The Union Bank of Erie, PA. It would probably be great trouble to extract the coins from the acrylic (?) in which they are embedded. Should I try to get the coins out? Put it up for auction on ebay? Easiest would be a trade for something Louisiana-related with a member here. Open to all suggestions!

Reminded me of a video from coin geek about these. Here is the link if interested... Fj-whaxuV1M Edited by cointagous 10/15/2022 8:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10065 Posts	Posted 10/15/2022 9:04 pm Think of it this way: If you wanted a cool looking paperweight like this that contained a a set of 1958 points in MS condition, it would be a lot more difficult to find than just a 1958 minutes set!
