Full Version: Old metal mint container
I recently bought a coronet type gold coin which came in a gold metal container with a likeness of the reverse eagle grasping arrows. It is the exact eagle that is on the coronet type gold coin that is on the top of this container. It is red velvet lined and the top is hinged. It is my guess that this is an original mint container but I have never seen one from 1893. Does anyone have any knowledge of these containers and their worth?
I have never seen an item similar to what you have described. Can you post a picture for us. I'm sure most of us would like to get a look at it.

We're still waiting for that picture!!! 
Don't hold your breath UB.
