<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7850189, member: 117420"]Not clear to me of the question or the answers. Is the question about officially issued coin sets from the mint in those holders...? Is there any mint/gov't ID on the holders (don't see any/doesn't show)...? Coins are genuine...hard to know from photos if tinkered with for appearance. No matter, really...nothing wrong with putting together some decent-looking coins from somewhere along the way and calling it a mint set...! I've assembled...individually pieced together...about a half-dozen nice "mint sets" of coins from the same year(s)...from Walkers to pennies of the 30s and 40s...MS full red cents and lustrous silver and nickel...into some Capital and similar holders. I don't try, nor is it my intention, to ever deceive anyone, but hey...the coins are from their various/individual years of mintage at the same mint, assembled together in a mint set.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
