This is a 20-coin set of 1885 Morgan Silver Dollars. It is sealed in a 20-coin Blanchard slab and graded MS-60+ by them. Most of the coins would grade MS-63 to MS-65 by today's standards. There are 2 coins that have very nice end-of-roll toning, and the rest are white. Blanchard put these sets together in the 1980s, and most of them have been broken up by now. Very few remain in the original Blanchard cases."

Very cool, but it would bug me that they are all misaligned. Can you open that thing up or is it sealed for good?
Sealed for good.
The slab will outlast all of humanity and the burning of the galaxies. At the end of time, all that will be found is the Statue of Liberty half-buried at the beach and this Blanchard slab.

Do you know what APMEX sold that for? I could see it broken up for those purples.

The challenge is to tap the edge(s) and rotate them to get them all properly aligned.

So that was number 2 did you see number 1?
Also what does a box 4 mean?
I'd like to see the plastic storage box that those go into.
