I am sorry for the misinformation on the PCGS RP stats..they are a more believable 32.5% RP70's
I did transpose the 25th Annie stats for that issue...

If anyone wants a PF70/RP70 set, there are a couple on the bay for 299 including shipping

I got my set today. I ordered on July 4th, and received them today, October the 9th. Curious to see if there any others receive their's much later than this. They look great and I will, of course, be checking to see if mine which should have been some of the last minted used a markedly different set of dies. One can only hope!

I received my last 2 sets Saturday, There is no doubt, I can plainly see the sets coins were from the same dies as my 1st sets, I was sure the mint would address this topic, wrong, So I called and was assured IF I return the sets I would receive another 2 sets, I only hope this is not a merry-go-round!!! Mailed them out and hope things arrive and look better

I know what you mean...I understand...I really do that to some degree they can't help the milk spot issue...I can forgive that to a degree. Was how scratched up mine were that I couldn't overlook. A regular proof with and area about a quarter the size of a dime covered in hazy fine scratches all parallel like someone ran an abrasive paintbrush across it. Was horrible...and not something that would go unnoticed. I will admit...I would be willing to pay an extra $10 per coin for "first grade" coins and let these others be sold at a discount.

I just got word that my AE set is finally on its way. I sure hope they have that outstanding look and error free. Like someone else mentioned I bought in July and now they finally ship. Good luck to those of you that are still waiting. I'm already thinking if I have to send back I won't see anything until next year, just guessing of course. lol Love the mint, yep yep

I am glad that my sets were good enough to keep. Nothing bad on mine. I would be concerned about returning sets at this point and getting good ones back. I would be afraid that the replacements are no better or not available at all. I hope that anyone who returns sets and wants replacements gets something better!

I too was afraid I would NOT receive any replacement sets, I was assured just the opposite, We will see!! Good luck to all who waited for their SF ASE SETS!!!!!

I called as well, one....to confirm they received my returned goods, and second to see if I will be getting replacements. She assured me I would get replacements in an almost "ya sheesh...we are swimming in these darn coins" sort of way. She did say it would take two to three weeks though....odd.

MD, the chances of the coins being from the same die pair is very slim at best. The die for the proof coins probably last in the 1500 coin area and the RP die strike maybe 1000 coins. Uncirculated ASE die last right around 3000 coins. Can you post images of the die markers you are using? I have received coins that were from the same die pair before but that was uncirculated ASEs in a single order and single shipment. The die markers I used there were a pair of identical (under the microscope) flat spots, one in the obverse field and one in the reverse device. With ~165 proof die sets and ~250 RP die sets in use, getting coins from the same die in different shipments spaced out in time would be an unusual occurrence.

So from everyone's response about a 2013 set there aren't any rumors out there yet for what the mint is thinking about producing. It was fun to read everybody's wish list for next year. How about a RP in UHR, would that work?

Yes, but make sure it is from Denver.
