THIS IS A VERY RARE SET OF 425 GRAMS OF LEGAL TENDER . THE ITEM CONTAINS AN UNOPENED MINT SEALED GEM POOF BALLISTIC ROLL CONTAINING $50 OF THE GOLEN COLLERED PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS. ALL OF THE COINS IN THE TUBE HAVE A $50 FACE VALE (WHICH MEANS YOU COULD ACTUALLY SPEND THEM IN THE STORE FOR %1 EACH). OPENING THE ROLL OR REPLACING COINS THAT ARENT BALLISTIC PRESIDENTIAL GOLDEN COLORED DOLLARS WOULD GREATLY DEPRECIATE THE VALUE OF THIS RARE SET. FOR THIS REASON THE ROLL IS SEALED WITH A TAMPER PROOF LABEL TO LET COLLECTORS KNOW THAT ALL THE COINS WITHIN THE ROLL ARE GEM PROOF COINS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN TOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS. THE PRESENTATION BOX THAT WAS MADE BY THE US MINT TO FINELY DISPLAY THE 50 PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS IS IN THE SHAPE OF A GOLD BAR. IT LISTS THE WEIGHT (425) GRAMS OF THE GOLDEN COLORED PRESIDENTIAL COLLARS ON THE BOX. IT ALSO CARRIES THE SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. THE BOX IS LINED WITH A VERY DURABLE AND PROTECTIVE FOAM WHICH THE BALLISTIC ROLL FITS PERFCTLY INTO. THE GOLD BAR BOX THAT HOLDS THE COINS AND IS LABELED 425 GRAMS OF LEGAL TENDER, THEN COME WITHIN A HARD PLASTIC LARGE BOX FOR PROTECTION AND DISPLAY. THE TOTAL SIZE OF THE PLASTIC BOX IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TENNIS SHOE BOX. THIS IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE SET. AT FIRSTGLANCE IT APPEARS TO BE A LARGE GOLD BAR WHICH WOULD BE WORTH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE AND RARE ITEM MADE IN A VERY SMALL QUANTITY. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ITEM TO ADD TO ANY COIN OR BULLION COLLECTION, AND WOULD EVEN MAKE A GREAT CONVERSATION PIECE IN AN OFFICE OR AT HOME. THIS ITEM WAS INSPECTED BY AN NGC CERTIFIED COIN DEALER, WHO STATED THE 50 GOLD TONE THOMAS JEFFERSON PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS IN THE ROLL WERE ALL REAL PRESIDENTIAL ONE DOLLAR COINS. THE COMPANY THAT MADE THIS BOX ADVERTISES EACH COINOF AS BEING A GRADE OF MS65 OR HIGHER. SINCE THE ROLL IS SEALED AND THE COINS NOT VISIBLE OUTSIDE OF THE CLEAR TUBE WE CAN NOT CONFIRM THIS STATEMENT TO BE TRUE. THE VALUE OF THIS ITEM IS UNKNOW KNOWN BECAUSE THIS SET IS SO UNCOMMON. THE ACTUAL FACE VALUE (IF THESE COINS WERE BROKE OPEN AND SPENT AT THE STORE - WHICH IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED BECAUSE IT WOULD DESTROY THEIR COLLECTOR VALUE) IS $50 BECAUSE THEIR IS 50 COLLECTABLE GOLD TONE PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS WITH A $1 FACE VALUE....more
