Not mine But I thought I would share this with the forum. At under 20 bucks a coin, this looks like a really good deal. Includes the 2005 Marines dollar and the 1995 Civil War dollar, both which go for well above $20.

    I'm a bit surprised these weren't placed in a DANSCO album and sold for twice as much.

    Not sure why this is a great deal, but maybe because it is definitely not my area of interest.

    There are way cheaper ways to stack silver.

    It tells you something about the market for them.

    I think its a pretty decent deal. I have been tinkering with the series but I have lots of those dates already.

    I’ve been buying most of them in auction and after shipping and etc. average about $20-$21 a coin. A few of them are better dates for sure; the Star Spangled Banner, Civil War and Marines. If you bought these individually I still think it would run you about $450

    Market on these are tuff, I sold a bunch a few months ago at 14.50 each and was glad to get rid of em, The civil war I didn't include, as that will sell, but the rest

    Track and Field from the 1995 Olympics is also in this lot. It’s a good mix.

    They are separated from their mint packages, which have value, and they are not certified. About the only way to give these coins “life” would be to put them in an album with labels and notes.

    Having collecting these sets, containing these coins, the dollars often had the weakest designs, in my opinion. It’s a way to buy some bullion, but there is not much collector interest here.

    I would say a fair deal to those who like modern commemoratives .

    A good way to jump start a collection.... ;) Not my area of interest.....and not a bad deal overall. Cheers, RickO

    Not bad!

    These might be a better investment if they had the original packaging, or not.
