I am a big fan of the original mailers and boxes of issue when found with their coins or medals...I think it's amazing that these fragile containers survived. I will start off with one of my own favorites

Gold pieces have subdued luster, both identical and MS64, half is deeply toned, MS 63

Thank you for posting the close of the $2.50 piece.

That is one of my favorite of all US designs.

Very nice specimen you have there.

Of course this isn't mine, but I felt it appropriate to post it.

I just wish it was mine... Amazing!

WOW some really incredible pieces on this thread...

The Louis Braille commemorative educational set was well overshadowed by the Lincoln Chronicles set. Here are pictures of the various panels of this item. Many of the features are raised and there is quite a bit of text in Braille, which makes this set unusual. Although more most of have been sold by now, less than 6,000 of the 25,000 authorized had been sold the last time I checked.

Some nice things here, I'm partial to the Centennial pieces, Pan Pac, the Seneca Chief and the Columbian. I think I've had this up recently but I don't have much with it's original holder or case.

Well before the Cheerios Dollars were "discovered" I decided to put together a little hoard of them as they became available on ebay. But, when I found that they were going for just over $50.00, I talked myself out of it, thinking that was too much just for packaging.

Boy, what a great decision that was.

So I keep one the cents I got from a box of cerial as a reminder.
