52Raymo- lol, it's no secret, I'll tell ya!
The less than perfect set was from some online distributer.. I don't remember off hand but its not worth looking up as they were more dinged than my circulation P's...
Then I ordered the Denali 3 coin set (P,D & S circulation) from a different online distributer (this was a preorder before they were released) .. And this is the place I preordered all the 2013's from also as the coins were direct from the mint and comparing to the MS-65 I just received from PCGS these would get MS-67's (probably not literally, but comparing them to the 65 I received from PCGS they're nicer)
The really nice 30 coin set I ordered was actually from a different place, it was the promo (also no longer available...) from littelton coin company and included all 30 P&D's to date for face value, and I got a free 2010 D MS shield penny (they sent a P or D to each order) with the promo also so it was actually a penny under face value total cost including shipping. And every one of these coins was also at least as nice as the 65 I received from PCGS, although the 2 P&D Denali's I had preordered with the S were nicer so I switched them out with those...
We have a whole thread on litteltons promos on here... Some of the promos are great (like the 1982s proof 63 George Washington 90% half for $9.95 including shipping that's on it's way to me now ;) some not so good... But the
ATB set for face + a free penny was another good one... As was the P&D Native American sachuegea $ 8 coin set for face + 4 2009 (P or D) bicentennial pennies for free (my order of that one is "pending fulfillment" so I should get it soon). So it's definitely worth watching the thread for some of their new promos, we post the codes (there newest isn't great though)
So I gave the first full set to my little sis... Kept the littelton one and have an extra Denali P & D and preordered all 2013's from that other company.. I can give the
ebay store name for them but when I got my order I got a letter from them saying it was cheaper to buy direct from them (no PayPal or
ebay markup fees) so if anyone's interested I can find that too... Although they charge over face.. But as I said they are direct from the mint high quality
ATB's... At least the 3 I got were. I think it was $11.30 total including shipping for all 2013 P,D & S and you get 3 (PDS) each time they're released) so about .75 cents each (but actually less because it included shipping). You could probably find them for less, or even pull them from circulation (if there in your area like they are here) but I'm impatient and wanted the full MS set so I preorder and don't mind paying a premium as long as the quality's there!
So if anyone wants the
ebay store name or the direct order info I'll try to find it, but definitely check the littelton promos from time to time!! As that was by far the best deal!
(I feel bad, when that 30
ATB promo was going on a member here posted a want list.... Of all the P&D
ATB's to date.... and he could have got a pristine set from littelton for face value.. But I don't have enough posts to reply to a want list and his PM's were off... His loss because the promo's done. Lol, I tried.)
