Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/06/2014 2:35 pm Long story short, my father in law is turning 50 in just a few weeks, and I have an extra 1964-P mint set that I think would make an excellent gift for the occasion. It's in some sort of custom slab made for such sets (the set belonged to a deceased member of my father in law's church that I was hired to appraise) so no original packaging or anything like that. Since my father in law is a history buff, I figured I would include a little card explaining the historical significance of his birth year--something like you would expect Reader's Digest to include with such a set. Does anybody have or know of an existing card I can either copy or buy cheaply? I'll probably end up printing it off myself, but it's always nice to have a format to follow/copy. Thanks all!

unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 08/06/2014 2:49 pm I have seen in some card shops and novelty stores, birthday cards with a list of significant people and occurances that happened in your birth year or even on your specific birth date. I bet of you google it you can find some Report this Post to the Staff

I'm sure the wife won't object to a dinner date haha If I write it myself, I'm thinking I might include: - Important people - Important events - Fun facts about the coins (last year of silver, highest nickel mintage, date freeze etc) - Buying power of each coin in 1964 - Silver value of each coin in 2014 Report this Post to the Staff
