Here is one thanks @heavycam.monstervam These were put out by Tidy House Products Co. The company started its business in their basement. Below is some info on the company. http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v13n37a14.html https://northomahahistory.com/2016/...-of-north-omahas-tidy-house-products-company/ In short these were a promotional giveaway, but I haven't figured out from what year. I'd imagine somewhere in the 50's or 60's Below is one of their Morgans dollar coins in it's cardboard packaging, It's missing the envelope. I grade the coin a 63 PCGS value, $57 in 62 $65 In 63 $82 in a 64
Beyond nice... those are notorious for toning up beautifully and rarer than an honest "we buy gold" place... $199.99
From the write-up in pic #2, I'd guess these were put out between 1965-1969, as they talk about 40% silver coins, and 'sandwich' (clad) coinage. I'll say $145
Good call, that makes much more sense. Then these and the Kennedys were put out by the Pillsbury company. I am guessing to boost the tidy house product. I wonder if these were put out in the surrounding states, or across the US?
135 Nice coin! All of these tidy house Morgans have a premium, but the toning can definitely affect how large of a premium!
Years ago companies also gave items as such away as rewards for promoting their products or increase in sales. I received this Credit Swiss 1 oz. silver bar,and a 5 gram gold Credit Swiss from a Cheese company. The wife has the 5 gram somewhere the silver bar has toned nicely .
I switch them up from time to time.. but yeah was on the main computer and found another image I liked.
I called in the winner @baseball21 I ran across two of these in a dealers case about a year ago. and they were beautiful but I was very hesitant to pay his premium. They were priced at 165$. Last week I stopped by my favorite dealers place to buy the 99O Morgan. This and a few others were sitting in his case. needless to say I left with the 99O and all five of the tidy House coins he had. Three in the cardboard holder and 2 out. Oh yeah the price, $49.99 each just couldn't pass them up. I would have given somewhere between 80 and 110 for them. @baseball21 your up.
