Thought that this auction ad illustrates how little knowledge the general public has on the value of coins. Just dress up some pocket change in fancy official looking wrappers, put them in a flashy box, and add an overhyped cert of authenticity and there you go ..... a way to make obscene profits. This particular set is from the World Reserve Monetary Exchange. 3 hours left, how high will it go?

Those are nice boxes. They are very shiny.
I wonder what you could get for shiny boxes of Dimes?

Vot means this shiny? Box worth extra something?

Did the US mint issue those boxes?
I have a vague recollection of something like that. Not that it increases the value, but just wondering.

Well, it is only common sense: 450 x .05=$300 And for the boxes, well the boxes are worth at least $100, so $300 is a great deal!  Edited by coinlover1899

I have seen boxes of nickels like these come into the LCS.
Have never seen the sell for over face, most times the nickels
get dumped to the bank.
