<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3299170, member: 31533"]I think the problem is this guy thinks he has a great valuable coin, when in fact it evidently comes from a set by a company just out to make money off a 50th anniversary of something. Probably trying mostly to sell to people like me, people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, who actually remember watching this all on TV when it happened. People who don't bother really learning about coins but believe that after 50 years it must be valuable. Crazy. As crazy as people buying all those commemorative plates that are almost all valueless. Money wasted. If you want a set of 1969 coins, you can put a set together probably for less than 5.00 and still get some good looking coins and pay for the plastic. You might have to design your own insert but hey, do you really want to be paying 35.00 for a printed insert? Because that is what a set like this amounts to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then goes and says the nickel was his grandfathers who actually saved it from the 1970s when his grandfather was in the US and that he himself has had it for 20 years or more. Impossibility to do that and buy it in a set like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
