    Thanks Ricko! Sorry for the confusion, by typing LCS I was referring to my Local Coin Shop. I'm a regular in his shop so he will usually give me good deals on generic silver. For ASEs or Maples he's a little high, but I couldn't pass on his offer for the bars. They were in a sealed plastic sheet. I opened them and put them in the tube that came from an old order from Provident Metals.

    Great collection as always, Zubie!

    I cannot find ANYTHING on the Net about this Set. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
    Who made it and when and what is the mintage? Was there a COA that came with it, mine does not have one. The rounds are not serialized.

    Does this count? only cost me a dime (got it in change). Brought it home and gave it a dip in the coin pool.

    Desert Schield was the name for pre invasion forces and mobilization....it signaled we were getting ready. Once we invaded the name was changed to Desert Storm.

    Nowhere near as cool as the stuff I see here . I guess I bought these because I like em.
