Can you really tell the date on the 55-64 ones??

etexmike

I already have a complete set.

Wonder what it is worth?

yep, someday opriginal packaging/packaging items will be worth more than a lot of the coins that came in them. I've said it for years.

Hmmm. I have a lot of double mint set cardboards from busted up mint sets?????? Naaah.

Just goes to show that people will buy anything. To quote W.C. Fields... "there's a sucker born every minute." -- Not that the buyer is a sucker, but what would you do with these?

I think I'm gonna sell canned air and see if anyone bids on it

I wonder if rat droppings are worth anything.

I could puy them in cardboard holders. 5 dollars

for a dozen.

Hey I got some of those P and D slugs from mint sets I've bought over the years. I wonder if they are worth anything? Maybe I should get them slabbed?

I remember throwing "Paladium" in the garbage back in the crazy 80 metals market.


Jeeeesh if I only knew then what I know now.

I chucked a bunch of Redbooks from the 70s about 10 years ago. Then in the 2005 Redbook, there is a list for what old Redbooks are worth!! DOH!!

I'm actually surprised that these things aren't more collectible. They are, after all, small discs of metal made by the US Mint. We collect lots of other small discs of metal made by the mint; why not these?

I do know some people who collect the 1982 one -- this one is interesting in that it's the same size as the SBA, and took its place when no SBA$s were made in 1982. Some SBA/small dollar collectors include one for completeness' sake.

Just think how the prices would go if PCGS started slabbing these and made a registry set for them .

I once dumped about 2 dozen perfect GSA black boxes w/cards.................who knew? :-(

"There's a sucker born every minute" is usually attributed to P.T. Barnum, which is one reason I like my Bridgeport half dollar so much. I admire W.C. Fields, too, and the outrageous plot of "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break", the title of which has kept certain coin dealers in business for years. However "there's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase coined by Barnum's competitor, George Hull, who exhibited the Cardiff Giant and almost sold it to Barnum.

FWIW I work on hundreds of used computers and buy canned air regularly.

That's what I'm hoping for. Then I can get my rainbow toned one slabbed and sell it for many multiples.

Many multiples of zero is still zero.
