This is why I always say "Folks" not guys or gals I guess we're all a product of our raising. I never thought about it much, but I remember my dad specifically getting frustrated with us kids (there were 8 of us, I was #7, the oldest sister was married and had a kid before I was born, for the most part I grew up with the 5 youngest in the house, 2 girls, 3 boys), and Dad referred to us as a group as "you guys", as in "geez you guys, you better start behaving or I'm pulling over!", and our grandma (his mother) welcoming us "how are you guys doing?", so I guess it gets passed down. |

ok let me clarify a bit here - I say "Folks" here on the forums to be polite and not to be discriminatory to anyone.
In real life I'll use Guys to address a group of people
and if there are any objections, it can get addressed immediately

Pulled mine out of the mailbox today too. It was fun while it lasted. This feels kinda like the end of the ATB 5-oz puck program to me. Bittersweet. But my wallet is going to be a bit heavier next year. |

Quote:Those pucks seem like bargains now, right? Yes. Even though I collected the proofs, in reality if those were to be sold to a dealer today they'd likely just be scrapped for melt. So I paid (at the time) high prices to essentially stack some silver. |

At least you did not lose money. |

My sets arrived early also, packed in a cardboard box with bubble wrap inside. One of the set boxes has a crease on one side. Lenses are fine and all of the coins look very good under a 5x loupe.
Might post some "trios of coins" from the three sets ( Unc, Prf, Silv Prf ) later in the "Post a Trio" thread. . .
As far as the designs go: The Dime and the Half Dollar are home runs. The quarter obverses are yawn inducing, the quarter reverses are nicely done. Wish the USM had done something beyond dual dating the Penny and Nickel.

I ordered two of these with the intention of gifting them to my 11 year old,nand 14 year old grandsons.
I purchased them 2 or 3 hours after the 12 p.m. ordering period began, and thusly I'm backordered. I did pay a few dollars more for slightly expedited shipping, the one just above standard shipping.
Anyway here comes the potential problem...I live in Southern California, but my daughter and grandkids live in Boise, ID. My plan was to carry the coins with me when I fly out to Idaho on October 30th. Who thinks the proof sets will make it before I leave?
I'm not holding my breath.

Got mine today, now when I break 1 set out for my albums where should I put the quarters? Extra page in with the American Women or over to the Washington quarters, maybe that slim 2009 Album? Let me know your thoughts, help me out folks |

When I last check Friday my set was due Tuesday, but it arrived Saturday during a deluge from Isaias— Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds... I did not get delivery notification as I usually do for anything important and the rain prevented me from checking my mailbox this weekend. When I booted up my laptop this morning the tracking tab I left opened showed delivered. So, I did not check the mailbox until this morning.  My set was packed in a black bubble mailer, hardly air tight. When I opened it, the paperwork and OGP box felt damp. The coins look okay now, but I fear for their future. |
