For that year, there were only two types of this bullion coin produced - the proof and the uncirculated. However, only the proof came in a presentation case with a COA from the Mint similar to the 1986 shown below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]412700[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If your uncirculated coin was in a presentation case of some sort, then it was supplied by someone other than the Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any event, if you want to search eBay for specimens of these coins, I recommend that you confine your searches to those certified by either NGC or PCGS.
