I don't remember it at all. Interesting that it's an add for US Commems at KMart. Must have been one of those experimental marketing programs that the Mint tried.

That makes me cry a little bit inside. No wonder a majority of proofs I see are smeared with fingerprints and gunk.

Interesting to see what that smudged up thing looks like now with all the ca. 1986 contamination on it cry.gif

Not long ago I found some of the original marketing pamphlets that they gave away at the banks when selling these coins in 1986. It's funny to see stuff like that and actually remember buying the coins at the bank!
