Mine came in on Thursday and I just got to take a good look today. Very nice! One of my medals was rotated as well.... also the Philly one.

I wonder if we have a prankster "signing" their assembly work.  I came to realize this weekend that I really like the enhanced uncirculated medal. There are three contrasting shades, as opposed to two on the cameo proofs. |

When I opened my set the reverse proof was laying out of its capsule. It didn't look like it moved around much, and it didn't look damaged in any way, but it was still annoying.

I spent a little extra time looking at my set today, especially comparing it to the Kennedy set. These medals are far superior. I know I have mentioned how much I like the enhanced uncirculated medal, but I think the reverse proof is fantastic. Of all the RP coins I have, none can touch this medal.

BUT, bear in mind these sets could be grading rejects... Exactly what I was thinking. |

Maybe not a bad price considering the investment it would take to get a set of 70 if you bought enough raw and submitted.

There are people that will pay for a 70. I am not one of them.  |

You can get an NGC set for that price or cheaper, haven't seen the PCGS prices yet. If it was PCGS or NGC that's not a bad price at the moment but I really don't see those premiums holding |

NGC 70 set sold yesterday as a BIN for $599. I would think these will be in the $450 range in a bit
I should also add that the last five raw sets (actually 10 of the last 11) sold for below issue price with free shipping added. Lowest being $185

I ordered the 4 medal set right at release time...within the first minute. It arrived Halloween night which was later than I expected, but I did use the free shipping code. It was "expected" Saturday. I did not have the issue some of the others had with the capsuled being loose or turned. They were all snugly in their respective spots. Well....I finally got by the bank box and picked up all her "sisters" and brought them home for a group photo shoot.   |
