The 2 sets sent to me had crappy rp's. The worst I've got so far. One rp has brown smudges all over it. The medals look good though. My other 2 sets are stuck in my sisters mailbox as it was a bigger box than usual. Going over there today with pry bar  |

I'm glad were done for the rest of the year on these sets, I was getting paranoid and anxious on order days. Yeah, who knows how long of a break we are going to get before Reagan is released. Enjoy the downtime!  |

I'm sure the Mint will produce and market something else for us to clamor over to fill the gap...

Well 2 of my 4 are zip lip varieties. Now all we need is a good article and collector interest  All rp's are crap. Nothing with a chance at 70. Worst rp's yet for me. Which is odd as it seems like quality was better on these. I think I'll be keeping these ones in ogp as I've lost the fever |

Cascade, yours may be damage from the crowbar to remove them from the mailbox! :)
Same as you, I have 2 with, and 2 without. How are your medals? All 4 of mine are very nice, although the design is not my favorite.

The medals are fine don. Definate 69's with a possible 70 or two. And no crowbar needed, I just angled and pulled. Only damage was 2 diagonal corners being flattened and scuffed.

Got mine today. It's a decent looking set. Although I will say that the medal in the Johnson set is my least favorite, the Ike medal was easily my favorite of the medals. Overall the mint did a solid job with this series in the overall presentation.

Got my 2 sets in. I will say there is one set where I honestly think the coin could get a PF70, and the other one would be an easy PF69, but I highly doubt a 70 with how stringent they are with these. Contemplating if I want to send in just the one set where I think would have a good chance or both for continuity sake (since my other C&C sets are graded and might as well have them all graded).

I got my 2 sets in the mail last Saturday, have yet to even open the box. I might just keep it sealed if I have the willpower.

Stop kidding yourself. You don't have the willpower. Go ahead and open the box.

Received this from a friend at the Mint regarding the LBJ set's silver medal description error:
"Unfortunately there was a design description error printed inside the folder of the 2015 Coin and Chronicles Set - Lyndon B. Johnson. The text in the folder describing the silver medal reverse reads "The reverse includes the date of his inauguration: January 20, 1965." The text should have read "The reverse includes the date the president first took office: November 22, 1963." The Mint apologizes to its customers for this error."
Looks like it was just a mistake when designing the packaging. Ah well...
