    US Mint historical questions

    in US, World, and Ancient Coins

    Posted

    Hi Roger - I joined the NGC boards back in 2007, but as my first post to them 13 years later, thought that I would ask you a question. Actually I asked you this about 10 years ago, but time for an update.  The Mint produced double mint sets in cardboard packaging from 1947 - 1958.  Have you ever run across any type of information at all related to these? Why this packaging?  Why cardboard cut-outs? Who made the packaging for the Mint? Requisition documents? Specs?   Why double sets?  There are apparently mintage records for the number of double mint sets (at least there are published numbers).  Where are those records?

    Any suggestions on where to look for documents, or do you think they were likely destroyed via the great document purge?
