<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3959685, member: 66&quot;]That&#039;s why I want to know what the date on the package is.&nbsp; At one time you could order coins directly from the Treasury.&nbsp; I&#039;m wondering if this Assay office address could have been used for shipping back then.</p><p><br /></p><p>No, that can&#039;t be it.&nbsp; It shows a zipcode and they weren&#039;t in use until around 62 or 63.&nbsp; By then I think all ordering would have been through the mint.&nbsp; I have no idea what the US Assay Office Numismatic services would have been.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK found part of the answer.&nbsp; Apparently orders for coin sets used to be placed through the US Assay Office Numismatic Service.&nbsp; In 1971 the address for orders were placed through an address in San Francisco.&nbsp; Still don&#039;t know when the order address was in New York.&nbsp; The date on the package would help narrow it down but I suspect it would be between 1962 and 1968.&nbsp; Possibly earlier as well but the sipcode on the package shown as I said would be after 1962.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
