Nice set ..... I understand about getting good pictures ...
I have a lot of trouble with glare.
I think yours came out pretty good.

It's been over a year since this thread has been active, going on 14 months actually -- wow. Tonight I went back through it and remembered what a great thread it is for us fans of U.S. Mint products. Anyway, I thought I'd revive it or at least give folks a chance to drool over GR58's hoard again.  Here are a couple pics of my 2000 Leif Ericson Proof Silver Dollar. The packaging isn't all that much but the coin sure is cool. I may post a little more about this one in the U.S Commemoratives & NCLT forum as it is pretty interesting. Packaging and open clam shell:  Close-up:  The little rectangular silver foil tab in the front of the coin says "proof" in script. It's hard to make out in the photo with the glare. Obverse:  Reverse:

Leif Erricson is one of my favorite commemorative coins. Thanks for posting them.
I have the 2 coin set that has the proof Erricson and the Iceland 1000 Kroner. I will have to check if I have pictures of that set.

First up the Coin and Chronicles sets. A group shot then a close up of the final one in the series Ronald Reagan. Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Reagan included reverse proof Presidential dollars. Reagan set included a 30th Anniversary Silver Eagle. I enjoyed the medals in these sets. Some silver, some bronze and some both. Also on the Reagan set the packaging was a bit different...kinda velvety to the touch.
