Contents of Banquet Souvenir Envelopes for the 2000 ANA in Philly - NEED HELP

At the 2000 ANA Convention Banquet in Philadelphia, attendees received a large, silver-star-sized sealed envelope of items courtesy of the Red Rose Coin Club in Lancaster, PA.

I need assistance in knowing what's exactly inside those envelopes because I do not want to open them. I know the RRCC had elongated coin sets made and placed into cellophane packaging consistent with Mint Sets available at the show, so that maybe perhaps one of the items.

You can send me a PM or reply. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Greg

    An ex-President of the RRCC posts on Coin Talk. Post this over there and I'm sure he'll pop up with an answer.

    I think one of the contents was a fluffy little kitten. Ooops. Should have opened it promptly.... :o

    It sounds like you have multiples - how about you crack one open and tell us what's inside? :p

    Hope they used pre 82 cents.

    Yes I do, and I want to keep both of them sealed.

    What is inside the envelope is a dark green card with a window cut into it, with a (should be) Proof like Bronze medal which the Red Rose Coin Club has Produced since 1966, Yours would contain one with Harriet Lane the niece of President James Buchanan who resided in Lancaster, Pa. (Home to Red Rose CC) she was the Unofficial "First Lady" since James was not Married during his term in office. It was a product of the Keystone Mint. I Hope this helps.

    Do these 'envelopes' sell for a premium unopened? Just curious as to why you are intent on them remaining sealed... Cheers, RickO
