As part of one of Reagan's cost cutting iniatives mint sets were eliminated in '82 and '83. Everyone knew it in advance so more rolls were set...
It doesn't sound familiar to me but certaunly sounds like a medal.
It sounds more like a medal. Any wording or numbers might prove helpful.
Rolls are usually filled by big hoppers at the counting houses. These are Brinks, Wells Fargo, Purolator etc who contract with the FED to supply...
The Libyan and the 2nd Tunisian pieces are better. The Tunisia was just recently bumped up in price but really isn't too special. Libyan coins...
