<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1547487, member: 15929&quot;]Sloght correction. Despite what certain web pages state, these were NOT made by the Denver Mint. Only sold at the Mint Gift Shops which are owned and operated by non-US Mint Employees. They were made by ARAMARK outside of the mint for sale at the US Mint Gift Shops which they own and operate. These &quot;Oath Dollars&quot; are in no way an official US Mint Product anymore than the &quot;Penny in a Bottle&quot; or any of the other hundreds of products offered at that store. (Coffee Cups included!)</p><p><br /></p><p>They did have a wave of popularity until folks figured out that these are the same as those aftermarket &quot;Good Luck&quot; Cents which are simply pressed into an aluminum ring. The pressing can cause damage to the coin from a numismatic perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/Misc/ILIKEIKE1956-DLincolnObv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/Misc/AmericanSavingsTokenObv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Since they were only &quot;sold&quot; at the Gift Shop(s) located outside of the Denver Mint (for $19.95 i believe), folks naturally &quot;assumed&quot; that they were made by the Denver Mint but they were not.</p><p><br /></p><p>See Coin World July 28th, 2008 Page 10 or PM me with an email address and I&#039;ll send you a scanned copy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are they &quot;collectible&quot;? Sure. Just like any other coin encased in aluminum or perhaps tea cups and stamps. Some folks will pay a premium while others avoid them like the plague.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like them and have a couple but I won&#039;t pay a premium for them. Some dealers have some for sale that they paid a lot for on the aftermarket and they won;t sell them for less. I guess they&#039;ll have these for quite some time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would wager to say that in open bidding, each might bring $25 - $30 on a good day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
