I assume you have a cat ... or had after that.

yeah you know just when you are trying to do something precise........WHAM!!!  here she is for her loving.... how dare you mister to ignore me!!!  hahahahahha...  i will just take my paw and push that Kennedy right off of the table!1

you can peal the paper off the mint set and when you get to the plastic you will notice that there will be an edge that you can lift up and pull apart.  The plastic will separate so that you can pull them out.  just make sure you don't have a cat around or you may lose them all on the floor. I have done tis a many of times to fill my danscos.

Don't touch them!  get a 2 x 2 flip  and put them in it.   they are desirable just the way they are to a hard times token collector.

sorry to say but this isnt an error it is a harshly abused Lincoln Cent..........and welcome to the form

looks like a fountain coin with a lot of pool acid on it

hahahah yeah like @Lem E said looks like the one in my mint set..........

Marc,

the only thing in this set worth grading and that is if you want to spend the money is the nickel in 1997 this set came with a special SMS type 5 cent piece.  in high grade full steps you can be anywhere from $150 - $500   it is kind of hard to tell from your pictures if this meets the bill or not.  with that being said the only value to the botanical garden coins is if it 70 and those are hard to come by.  so its value is only around $30 - $35 which doesnt make it worth grading... hope this helps?  and the Dollar well it is only worth 65 cents now, so i would spend that before it goes to 50.

thats a good find!  most are already ragged out before they get here to Florida... look like parking lot finds

you can always crate your own custom set if you have those.

  why?  have you heard of my new label series...  its called JT has your label just send me your coin and i will send you a label..........................  I was getting ready to purchase a coin one time and this guy said well it is such and such because it has a special label.  i told him that those done mean !@# to me i just would like the coin..... he sold it to me for a lesser price just because i told him that that stupid label doesn't mean butkis 

not to bad for running around for 20 years......  of course i am partial to nickels

Put them in a Dansco album and use it as a teaching aide

Exactly what i was thinking before i got to the bottom of the page.  fits well in the 8184

very nice

I agree looks like a filled die i wouldn't waste good money on it if i were you.  not unless it is special to you for some reason.

They do not want two-dollar bills, dollar- and half-dollar coins. 

KIDS these days think that they are fakes!!  hahahahahah

looks like some sort of stain on the coin.....  unless it was pulled from a mint set then i have seen them look that way.

yes the "minors"  means the small change.
