<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinclueless, post: 77978, member: 4390&quot;]This is my first post so - howdy!&nbsp; Hope this is the right place to post my question.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been searching for awhile now to get info on some coins that I have and while I&#039;ve had no luck, my searches keep bringing me here.&nbsp; I&#039;m not so much looking for a value, as to just find out more about them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When I was a kid, my grandparents brought me one of their &quot;finds&quot; from an Estate Sale in Arizona.&nbsp; It was a set of 7 pennies placed in a cardboard &quot;setting&quot;.&nbsp; The setting states in the center of it &quot;Apollo Moon Missions&quot; and in the upper right hand corner there is a picture of an eagle with it&#039;s wings open apparently landing on SOMETHING.&nbsp; That something is up to debate as it&#039;s not done clearly - but it kinda looks like it&#039;s landing on a slice of the moon (not cresent - but like arched potato chip).&nbsp; Also printed on the cardboard is a number and date above each of the 7 coins, and below each of the coins it has the names of 3 Astronauts.&nbsp; That&#039;s a lot of detail about the cardboard I know - but it&#039;s much easier to describe than the pennies themselves.&nbsp; Each one of the pennies is imprinted with that same &quot;date&quot; (guessing date of the moon mission) and a different picture for each mission.&nbsp; That imprint appears above the year of the penny.&nbsp; Some of these pennies are from the same year as the mission, but some are not.&nbsp; All pennies appar to be shiny to the same degree, so even if they were once circulated, I would still say they were in very good condition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;numbers&quot; that I mentioned above the dates are numbers 11 through 17.&nbsp; In recent years, this made me think that this means it was a part of a series and I&#039;m missing 1-10.&nbsp; (Perhaps bought by some other grandparents that day.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The imprints do not all have the same Depth, which makes me think that they were certainly not a part of something done by the mint.&nbsp; The dates of the missions are from 7/20/69 until 12/13/72 and the dates of the coins are from 1971 - 1974.&nbsp; I got this in the early to mid 80&#039;s and it&#039;s been in the same ill fitting frame ever since then.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So - Any ideas what my coins are, who stamped them, or any other fun information?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much for all of your help!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
