My mom was reading one of her magazines and found an add that she thought might interest me. Its an add selling some coins. Some silver dollars of a design I haven't seen. They were advertising them as "Teddy Roosevelt's Silver Dollars" or something like that, and called them the lost U.S. silver dollars. Anyway, they were minted in San Francisco, they have a Liberty design that I hadn't seen on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. If I remember right it was the eagle from the Barber coins, but I could be wrong there. They do say United States Of America on them, but they were made for use in the Philipines when it was a U.S. territory. I don't remember ever seeing these coins, and I know they're not in the Redbook. Anyone know anything about these? Also, any idea about their value? Thanks.
They are in the Redbook, page 385 in my 2008 edition. And I have no clue why the magazine called them TR's dollar, but I do have a complete set of them.
Thanks Arditirion. I just checked my '08 Redbook and there it is on page 385. And now that I look at it again I guess it is a different eagle than on the Barber coinage. How many coins does your complete set include? And what are the values on these? I suspect the add in the magazine is overpriced, but I really don't know. I think they were selling them for about $25, but the ones pictures were definitely not Unc or AU.
