Here's a very neat item that came into our office the other day - a complete 50 coin silver commem type set in a capital plastic holder. You certainly don't see these very often!
Is this for sale?
This was not available for sale as a set. We sent the majority of the coins out for grading.
I saw the first 4 on top and thought they were chronologically arranged, but magnifying the image I saw underneath the halves were alphabetical. I would have thought they would continue chronologically.
Perhaps they did it alphabetically so that it would be easier to locate specific coins in the set, like how we have them listed on our website.
We are starting a weekly post to our blog that we'll call Friday Trivia. If you think you know the answer, email us at info@northeastcoin.com. The first correct answer will receive a prize. We welcome and encourage everyone to participate. Good luck!
Here is this week's question:
What uncirculated date(s) of the Three Dollar Indian Princess is/are missing from the Smithsonian Collection?
Time for another Throw Back Thursday post. A local customer from long ago came into our offices recently and sold us some coins that he had purchased from us previously...in the early 80's! He brought with him an old brochure of ours. It's fun to look through and look at the pricing from back in the day.
