<p>[QUOTE="Aslpride, post: 1407023, member: 36954"]Hello, I would like to your opinion on my finding. In past few weeks. I have been busy sorting my grandpa's coins. Mostly focus on Morgan Dollars and research on VAMs. I was completed ignore my grandpa's Eisenhower Dollar coins as I thought they are not worth to investigating at that moment. During my research on Morgan Dollars, I discovery an article regarding to Eisenhower Dollar coins' condition sensitive. I learned that it's hard to find high grade on PA and Denver issued Eisenhower Dollar coins. I decide to focus on my grandpa's Eisenhower Dollar coins. During my search and discovery that it's hard to find higher grade on these coins due to circulated condition. Some of them does have luster, but not enough to reach MS 65 or higher. I was disappointed as anyone would. However, I read another article regarding to higher grade Eisenhower Dollar coins can be found from mints. I just remember that my parent does have them. I contact them and see if they allow me to look through to find any gem in it. They let me look through and warned me that they never look at them as they bought them and stored them. I thought it's cool that it has not been touch for longtime. I got the box called, "The Last 25 Years of U.S. Mint Sets". I look inside and the envelope did wear down, but the plastic are still in best condition. It was set from 1962 to 1986. (Year 1982 and 1983 never issued) I was just look through the dates, but not look on each mint. I found a treasure in very back of box. It was brown envelope and wasn't part of the set. I look inside and found a dollar coin of American Silver Eagles uncirculated version and it's 1987. I check the surface with naked eyes and 10X magnify. There is no flaw and very rich luster. I think it can strike MS 70. Scanned pictures didn't show very well, then I decide to use my Canon Rebel T1i for better insight of the images and it did. Here's picture of scanned and snapshots...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/1987DAEF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/1987DAEB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/IMG_9421.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/IMG_9424.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was cool find. However, it didn't stop there. I was stumped with one package that I found in that set. I found three box like a box package in the set. One is black and other two are blue. I checked all of them and find out the blue ones are SMS (Special Mint Set) from 1966 and 1967. I checked the black box and was puzzled as it wasn't part of set. I have a paper that come with the box that explain years, coins issued and what kind of coins they are. The black box wasn't not listed. I asked my parent about that box. They didn't know, but they remember that they bought some of them in past and put together in one box. I decide to research on what in the black box. After research and would like to confirm if it's a true one? I will start by showing mint packages from 1964, 1966 and 1967 for reference. We understand 1966 and 1967 SMS are proof and 1964 mint packages aren't proof. Here's scanned pictures of them...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/1964UCPAF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/1964UCPAB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/1964UCDVF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/1964UCDVB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/6667SMSF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j126/aslpride/Coins/1964%20coins/6667SMSB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, let's discuss on mystery black box the black box has two sets and both of them fit inside perfectly as seem a designed box.
