Quote: If they slip too far, the edge of the bill will touch the sticky stuff they use to hold everything together. I was able to reach in the side and give it a little tug. Hey, it ain't a proof bill. mine just have to stay stuck there,i see a small space on the side I can slip something in it but I don't want torn note so I might not need to try that.so it just a keeper for now.

My set with the glued bill has a very decent looking coin so it will be one of my submissions to NGC....and sticky buck will make a new home in some tip jar.

...and 51,605 sold so far...long way to go
I agree ... 50K would have been I much better mintage.
My guess for the JFK ... at 50K will sell out quicker than this set.

I may order a set or two just because it's a West Point coin. Most likely bust the coin out of the package and put the note in a currency sleeve.

I received my 5 sets earlier this week and finally took a look- coins and bill look fine. 2 of the coins look like they have black felt type lint inside capsules. 1 bill has a small spot of blue ink? I also noticed small areas of black ink that appears to have occured while handling still wet ink on the bills. No great serial numbers unless someone is into 69 on their bills, lol!

Regular sets selling for as low as $16.50 with free shipping...
It will be interesting to see what the graded coins do...

I also got some black debris on four out of my five sets, same as I had in 2014's sets. I found opening the capsule and lightly dipping a Q-tip over it picked up the debris.
