I specifically looked for language to that effect and couldn't find it. I am sure they intend that though.
They say that the coins from before 1963 will be in VG condition. There are only a few issues in VG that would be a deal at the $30 price. You can bet that you're not going to get any of those if they do a one per year set. And even if you were able to force them to stand behind the claim in their ad to provide "every silver half dollar issued from 1900 to 1999," there are so MANY that you will lose a bundle on that they would still make money. Just look at the first five shipments. A Bicentennial half, a 1963 Franklin, a wood box, a 2000 Kennedy and a 1995 Kennedy. Total value maybe $25. Total cost $150. They say there will be a complete set of Kennedy halves. If they include business strkes and proofs and the silver proofs that means 10 90% halves ($99 value for $300), 11 40% silver halves ($60 value for $330) and 84 clad halves ($50 value for $2520) You will spend over $3,000 for a 1964 to 1999 Kennedy set and take seventeen years to complete it. I would expect them to concentrate on sending you the Kennedy's with one of the earlier issues our of ever five or so just to keep stringing you along.
