<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zach67005, post: 1329049, member: 31132&quot;]I was lucky enough to discover that my small town now has a bullion exchange/not quite yet a coin shop today. Went in &amp; saw a curious 1990 mint set with a copper denver mint token(cent sized)which I picked up for $5 because I love mint tokens. I got it home to discover it wasn&#039;t even a united states mint product. purple box with a gold outlined fat seal like the rev of an ASE. Has anyone else ever seen one of these? The COA says &quot;this luxurious packaging was created especially for Uncirculated Bank Sets available from your financial institution.&quot; Inside the COA it says that the coins were only handled by white gloves since leaving the mint. Not complaining I like the token plenty, just wondering if anyone has any info on who makes these sets, are there other style or mintmark tokens?</p><p>Next, I went to my favorite mom &amp; pop shop in Wichita before an appt where I picked up a 1918 ms64/5 phillipenes ten centavo(I have many, but love the design &amp; this is my new gem of the group) &amp; a 1935 AU/MS Brazil 2000 reis which is a newly discovered favorite design both for $16. Anyway, I wanted to pick up a die cracked shield nickel to replace one I recently allowed myself to be parted with. I was shown an MS63ish 1883/2 wth the right diagnostic cracks for $600. When I asked why so low I was told it had been lightly cleaned at some point. This coin had no indication of any sort even at 10x &amp; looked absolutely problem free(I suspect the only reason he even knew is that it had been submitted or cracked out of a TPG slab). Where should the value be knowing about the cleaning? Thanks for any info you may have.:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
