<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 3299135, member: 31533&quot;]They are real coins. The GovMint company probably ordered a bunch of these coins sometime from other collectors/dealers --- basically ones where the coins look uncirculated (may or may not actually be actually uncirculated) and then put them together in sets to sell. The coins are real. They are not always BU (BU means Brilliant Uncirculated) and a coin that is a slider (ones that have some circulation wear, but for people who don&#039;t know how to tell it, &#039;look&#039; uncirculated) sometimes is marketed as uncirculated.... BU normally a term applied by people to indicate a lower uncirculated grade, and not gem quality (MS65/66 or above).</p><p><br /></p><p>You will probably never get a true BU/Gem quality coin in these because all of those have been culled to get graded separately or just saved by others who got to the coins first before they got to the company. Maybe sometimes if for whatever reason this company would purchase straight from the mint, but doubtful. In any case, they could not have done so for the 1969 coins, as this company was founded in 1984....15 years after the coins were minted by the U.S.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
