    This one is from a mint set:

    And this is from the Ike album.

    It never fails to amaze me how well my images turn out, when I consider they were taken with a cell phone.

    They are good for a phone. Throw some more even light at them and they will be even better. You can see the bottom half of the coins just need some light. Try a 10 and 2 position with lights. :)

    I especially like the quarter as you rarely see unc. bicentennials in circulation (even though it is from a Mint Set), and even less with that much luster.

    Heck yes they do.

    This reminds me.. My silver business strike set came in a similar packaging like the one you posted. I was only able to get the Ike out of the darn plastic airtites. I swear, over the course of the last two years, I have tried half a dozen times to free the quarter and half dollar. No luck. So those spots in the Dansco remain empty lol.

    Yes, I Know. My other set looked like it might have had a couple of 70's and I was considering slabbing. After all the years I have had it, I couldn't open the capsules either, so it sits with this one in the house safe. They must have some pretty strong machines to seal them or strong hands to press the halves of the capsule together. :)
