spiritnature New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 12:31 am As I've mentioned elsewhere on the forums, I'm very new to all of this and I was left with some coins from a relative. Up until today, I've really only looked at the loose coins, mostly moderns. I did however, find a set of circulated Morgans (5 total) that are in display box. The paper enclosed says they are from American International Mint and specifically says they are circulated, but put together and created as a collectors set to commemorate 200 years of United States coinage. The coins do look circulated and the obverse sides have a toned look to me (but again, I'm new and I could be way off). The reverse sides appear pretty normal to me for circulated coins. I guess I just want a general opinions on these. Is this toning or something else? Any idea on the company that distributed these? I looked around a bit, but I'm mostly coming up with knives it seems. And being that they were circulated, then pulled to put in a set, would it be safe to assume there probably isn't anything extra special about these (I did browse a bit in the VAM forum, but that left me more than confused and overwhelmed lol). Anything I should look for? I'm getting long winded.. here's a couple pics of the 5 together. I can try to get individual pics of each on tomorrow if anyone wants me to. Top left: 1904-O Top right: 1899-O Bottom L-R: 1921-D (I think, I need to look in better light tomorrow), 1890-O, 1889 (no mark, so Philadelphia right?) Report this Post to the Staff

It is toning and might be artificial but no real worries about that. 2. Any idea on the company that distributed these? Dozens of companies have put sets like this together. The company is not significant one way or the other to most people. 3. Would it be safe to assume there probably isn't anything extra special about these (I did browse a bit in the VAM forum, but that left me more than confused and overwhelmed lol). It would be safe to assume. There could be a value added VAM in there but given the condition of the coins, the likelihood it would add a lot of value is slim. Anything I should look for? Some people really enjoy searching and collecting VAMs. http://www.vamworld.com/ can help if you want to do some research. 1889 (no mark, so Philadelphia right?) Yes, the absence of a mintmark indicates a Philadelphia strike. Have fun with them. They are all circulated common dates, worth about $35/ea retail. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
