For the WWII book, the link page was mostly blank but I found the photos of the book by clicking on "back to album".

It's pretty cool. My concern was that the plastic would damage the coins, but if that hasn't happened by now, it probably won't.


I looked up the Postal Commemorative Society and there was some information in Yahoo Answers -- for instance, some of the stamps are just reprodctions.

It seems they have a bit of value, but probably not so much that you need to run out to get a rider for your home owner's insurance policy right away. I expect that for you the true value is the history those books have with your family.

Enjoy! They are pretty cool looking.

The example I linked to on ebay sold for $166 plus shipping. That could give you an idea of the value for the book of Morgans, although the condition of the coins could be a bit different.

Yes the one is specifically WW2, however both of the books were purchased in 1945 when William Hager came home from the war.

I don't think these are WWII era. I have seen the Binder with the
Morgan's come into local coin shops in my area.

Look at the stamps in the Morgan book. They are canceled
(postal stamped) in 1994 and 1995.

There were a lot of sets like these, that were being marketed
to commemorate 50 years anniversary of the end of WWII.

I have not seen the exact one labeled WWII coins, but I have seen similar.

With sets like this these, there may have some limited collector value.

But in my opinion the value of these sets would be based on just the coins.

Edit ...I did a quick look up on the stamps. The three I looked up were issued in 1959, 1965 and the banking stamp with the Morgan dollar and Indian Head cent was issued in 1975.

So am I way off base in thinkin the Carson City morgan in that book is worth a few grand. The CC Morgan is near mint condition.

For me it is very hard to determine which obverse goes with
each reverse, because of the slide show format.

Just guessing the Carson City is either the 1890 or 1891.

If you are wanting a grade and possible value, it would be
better to post individual pictures of each coin, obverse and reverse.

My impression is none of these coins are mint state. They
all look circulated and cleaned to me. I am referring to the
Morgan book, I did not look at the WWII coins very closely.

I am not saying this to be negative, I feel it is better to know what you really have.

Although I am not an expert on Morgan dollars, I think that these books were packaged to be keepsakes and gifts. I am certain that your uncle truly appreciated them and therefore the books are very special.

Persoanlly, I think that the books are really nice and I wouldn't mind having something like that myself, but I really think that the book packager filled the books with coins and stamps -- and not an individual collector. There is very little chance that any coin would have a really high premium value.

The true value of those books is in your family history. Cherish them. I know I would.

As far as the book, you can find similar looking at places like QVC, which is the worse place to buy coins.
