There was also a small box for the three piece set. I don’t have one of those. It was velvet lined in blue or purple. I forget which it is.
Here is one of the boxes. The famous one is the copper frame which is a collectors item in its own right. This also a collectors' item. [ATTACH]
I went to the Winter FUN show with a fairly open want list. I had my usual list, but nothing was standing out on it. Ultimately I ended up buying...

Neither of them is something that is difficult to find. It all depends upon the grades and the price. There are many examples of 2009 High Relief...
One of the factors that might be holing the Standing Liberty Quarters set back is the 1916. Some collectors have to complete things, and that one...

The sad part is the mint has jacked up the price so much on the clad commemorative half dollars that they are beyond the price range of many young...
