They are from 1947 and 1948.
The 1947 set has cards in the inserts with the numbers 518519 (I am assuming its an auction lot number).
The 1948 set has cards in the inserts with the numbers 258059.
The insert cards are similar and they both list prices. You can view the enclosed photos to see what I am talking about. Do these auction lot format (sequence of six numbers) make sense to anybody? Where could I look? These BTWs are actually all very nice. I suppose having more information on where these BTWs originated would be awesome. They are all raw.
And if many of you haven't figured it out by now, I'm working toward a complete BTW set. It will be my first registry set with our host upon completion. I don't even know what the benefits of registry sets are, but I'm going to join in the fun for the heckuvit.
Here is a photo. And any help anybody can give regarding auction lots would be appreciated. Just looking to trace the history.

Buying top quality Seated Dimes in Gem BU and Proof.
Buying great coins - monster eye appeal only.
TRUTH
<< <i>While the envelopes are priviately issued, the coin photographs are not clear enough to make a judgement on grade. There were no "official" envelopes created for the 1947-1951 BTW issues.

I understand this. I am just looking to find out if the lot numbers correlate to any auction houses any of the forumites may use. Just looking to trace back some history is all. The envelopes are not original. From what I understand, 1947's came in cellophane per this photo of a recent 1947 set I acquired in the cellophane. Somebody did a follow up post regarding the cellophane issues when I had asked about it in a prior thread.
@seateddime: The coins are not dipped. Original patina. They were housed in soft flips pictured. They've all taken an acetone bath and are now residing in 2.5x2.5saflips ready to be sent in. And I would want to send them back...if they were problem coins. They're not. They're actually really beautiful for the issue.
