 Wowie wow wow wow! How nice of them to be so generous! Now sit down and write a proper thank you note. It is wonderful that the collection has reached a third generation. |

Great, do something nice for them, always a concern of collectors spouse has no interest puts in 50,000 to an estate sale and gets 5000.00 net. Much nicer to see it go to a collector, that will appreciate them.

Make sure you check the first Olympic series (red lined box) for the map mule... also, the 1967 set can have some incredible cameo strikes. Sometimes worth removing from the set and protecting in a separate holder.

SPP - Can you message or mail me with details of the mule? I checked for cameos, and all have except the dime, which is a very cool deep purpleish colour. More photos to follow tonight!

Amaths, the 3D thing is not far off. All of the coins have major raised relief.
