I hope someone counts the dimples on the basketball, because I'd really like to know.  |

As usual, the coins look better in photos than they do in the Mint's images! Thanks for sharing, bzookaj! I have to say, the reverse is really nice, especially with the texture on the basketball. I still don't like the overly-crowded obverse, but overall I'm more impressed than I was when the designs were announced. |

As promised, pictures! Very nice! For the Apollo coins, I put them back in reversed so they are easier to get out when I want to see both sides. |

I received an email today regarding my order of the kid's set advising that: Quote:
This product is currently on backorder and based on our current production schedule, we expect to have inventory available to complete your order by late September 2020. You will receive an order confirmation email once your order has been completed and shipped. One wonders why they opened sales for it when they did. |

What if the "Enhanced Uncirculated" half dollar in the Kids Set actually refers to the planned colorization?  |

For those wanting the details, from the Mint's sales page for the Kid's Set: The design of this Basketball Hall of Fame Enhanced Uncirculated Half Dollar featured in this special Kids Set was created using a new advanced technique to laser polish some of its design elements while preserving the intricate details. Some areas of the enhanced uncirculated finish have a brighter sheen than a standard uncirculated coin but not the full mirror-like appearance of a proof coin.No need to stir the conversation with misinformation!

BTW: I received the same email message as CelticKnot - I imagine all who ordered the set have received it.
