I have a 1974 proof medal in it's original envelope and with it's letters. 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?
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.
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.:whistle: Seriously though I would suspect nothing of great value.
Joby, I had to do a little digging around in my "archives" and this is what I found.....hope it uploads OK.
Oh dear, I do believe I posted this in the wrong thread. Sorry Joby.... Should o' gone here....http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t50398/
