Fun way to display that Uncirculated Mint Set

Thought this was pretty unique. Guessing they took a 1963 proof set and put it in Lucite?

Well seeing how the title description says "Set in Lucite", I would say that's a safe guess.

 

$48 seems entirely unreasonable to ask for that. Maybe he meant $8 with free shipping.

No he's serious about the BIN price.

A guy showed up at the last coin show here with several of these was trying to sell for $65 each.

No takers.

 

Maybe the price of Lucite is up to $40 a cube these days.

Pretty popular back in the day as paperweights. I had a few myself.

 

I just saw on ebay a toilet seat made of lucite with all types of different us coinage set in. Multiple ones went for 100-200 apiece!

 

He probably meant $8 + $40 shipping.

A friend of mine growing up had a toilet seat like that in his basement bathroom. It was all 1964 dimes, quarters, and halves, I think. I wasn't into coins back then, but if I remember correctly, they all seemed to be uncirculated.
