The set contains a medal never touched by human hands, a plastic medal, 4 1974 original 10 cent stamps, 1974 envelope, and 6 columns of information printed on 1974 letters. Does anybody have any information or value on the set?

Can you post a close up of the coin???? __________________ no one right 100% of the time ***The only dumb question is the one not asked***   03-29-2009, 01:12 PM   #3 (permalink) green18 ANA# R3129541     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Long Island, New York Posts: 5,902 My Mood: Not Franklin mint. The US Mint issued these around the time of the Bi-centennial. Check e-bay. If you decide to collect these medals I'm sure they can be had for a reasonable price. __________________ They also serve who only stand and wait....John Milton   03-29-2009, 01:23 PM   #4 (permalink) Joby 11 Year old Junior Member     Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Parker CO Posts: 11 My Mood: what part of the coin do you want the close up?   03-29-2009, 01:33 PM   #5 (permalink) bqcoins You get what you pay for.     Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Nebraska/Iowa Posts: 4,760 My Mood: probably somewhere between about $5 and $7. __________________ BQ Sometime Numismatic Consultant See my Bust Halves here: http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid See my Holey coins here:http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid   03-29-2009, 02:13 PM   #6 (permalink) Just Carl Numismatist   Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 4,472 Quote: Originally Posted by Joby I have a 1974 proof medal in it's original envelope and with it's letters.

Does anybody have any information or value on the set? Looks kind of interesting. I wonder what the Mint hired to package thoes if not a human. Of course they didn't say anything about human feet though. Seriously though I would suspect nothing of great value.   03-29-2009, 03:01 PM   #7 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,663 I had (possibly still have) a few of these. Don't know where they went, but no great value. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   03-29-2009, 03:58 PM   #8 (permalink) green18 ANA# R3129541     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Long Island, New York Posts: 5,902 My Mood: Joby, I had to do a little digging around in my "archives" and this is what I found.....hope it uploads OK.
