I am aware of 3 $8 coins put out by the RCM. All 3 sell for considerably over FV and are silver.
The upper-left piece dates 1909-11.
That's a very interesting story that IMO adds to the coins alot. Top-left and bottom right pieces are standard issue 20-cash (2c), while the...
If you really want to find out, get a pre-66 (.800) and a 1968 silver (.500) quarter, drop those, then drop the 1967 in comparison to match the...

Not the ebay pic hosing logo, but on the bottom-right of the slab, there seems to be a logo present on the other side.
Ouch. What are they worth? Where I live, probably $7 or $8 retail.
Is that a coinworld holder? There's a logo on the bottom right that I can't make out.
Yep, belated Happy New Year wishes!
I think it might be more of a problem with the piece. The color is just way off, and it looks cast. It's supposed to be a Septimus Severus...
