Another try at an 82 Souvenir set

razzle

Armed? with the info and encouragement found here after my "negative feedback" post, I had the winning bid on both a P and D set tonight. I'd post the link, but there seems to be a way to do that here that I'm not familiar with.

Go to the site you want to link and do a "cut" on the URL

When posting or teplying to a message, select the fifth button from the left labelled http.
A script prompt pops up. Paste the URL into the script box and press enter.
Another script box pops up asking for the text you want the reaser to click on to activate the link. Key in "linky-poo" or "Philly" or whatever word strikes your fancy and then press enter.

Now press the Preview Button next to Reply to thread to see what your post will look like. Click on your link which should be fully functional.


Edited to add: Congrats on your souvenier set!

It looks like a nice Denver quarter and Philly dime.

Congratulations on your acquisitions, Razzle! Those are definitely the real McCoy! I had no idea the Philly 1982 set brought so much more money than the Denver set. Thanks for posting your success!

Just out of curiousity, do you plan to keep these sets or to use the coins elsewhere?

I just wonder how many of these are left. Like RichieURich I'm surprised that there is
there is so much spread between the two since the Philly mintage was only 10,000
higher. It's also surprising that these have gotten up to these levels. Quality generally is
not great even if it is better than most alternatives. There still aren't many collectors
of the clad issues and the smaller coins can be found in rolls with some effort.

It leaves one wondering if pricing is due to a large set premium developing or if it's just
the fact that the coins are so hard to find elsewhere.

WoodenJefferson and Lee,

Thanks for the instructions. I've learned to do it for one site, gave up on mastering two. They run together.

Richie and Cladking,

Even this earlier set I had bid on went for that amount?

I'm still looking for an 83 set. I'm just buying them for the satisfaction of having all the unc mints back to 60. As time and money allow, I would like to keeping adding to include the 50's. Regarding the "spread" in the price between the two, I think it may have been related to a mar the seller noted on the Denver set, but I don't really know.

Thanks for your help, and comments.

Those are pretty cool! I collect the mint medals/tokens, so I am going to need to find these sooner or later.

Thanks for sharing!
