Wow, that's a nice, well-struck half!
Thanks, good info. A quality group of clad mint sets could be a fun and challenging treasure hunt. Without breaking the bank. Something to consider.
Nice photos. I don't remember them looking that attractive when they were issued. They are actually quite nice.
Love the art deco eagle on the Bridgeport.
Might want to consider one of these to preserve the pedigree (a little). Or not :) On second thought, the '69 set is an oddball and won't fit...
Interesting thread. Is corrosion a problem with clad coins in general or is it related to the OGP somehow? Or just poor storage and handling? I've...

I went to Lowe's on my lunch break today and noticed a nickel on the ground as I crossed the parking lot. Of course I picked it up, that's what we...
It's a motley set. The make up of the 1969 Mint Set was 3 Lincoln Cents (P, D, S), 2 Jefferson Nickels (D, S), 2 Roosevelt Dimes (P, D), 2...
I remember learning about electrolysis in school. Figured out I could put the wires from my HO train set transformer in a bowl of water, add an...
Any explanation as to why they were labeled electrotype? Did the owner recognize they were counterfeit and assumed electrotype? It sounds like...
I read your belt sander remark and smiled. Then I scrolled down to the photos. EeeK! :jawdrop:
