Obviously Practice makes Perfect. Thank you for your comments. Yes, I've been getting a lot of practice with my hand held cell phone camera. That 2012 Proof did come out nice.

I should break out my 1995W and see if I can get some good close ups of it.
The 2019 LESPS looks good, got so much easier to find good sets after they revised the packaging in 2016.
Funny to think of the set containing the S ERP. The production numbers weren't that far apart, either. The S ERP was something under 30k, the 19 LESPS was I think 48,400?
So they're both pretty rare.
Another interesting thought would be if they put W quarters in them, but if course those weren't proofs, and you could only get them in bank rolls through the federal reserve

I would like to see that 1995-W Proof if you post it. Dearborn has mentioned it a couple of times.
The 2019 LESPS packaging is much better than it is in the 2022 set. I didn't mind the higher price so much but when the three sets arrived I was very disappointed with the thin velour covered insert that held the coins. The 2019 sets are also doubled boxed which makes them more sturdy when they are stacked.

I'll see if I can dig it out. If you have any tips for getting a good shot with a phone I'd appreciate it. I think I usually do better being at a distance and zooming, instead of getting really close with the camera, and not using flash. I'll get the whole set as well, it really is a beautiful set.
The 2019 LE I think was the last year with the left-over black strap, I'd have to recheck. I think I did check once before.

Most of the time I hold the camera back and use the zoom because if I get too close I'll cause a shadow to cover the coin. My window faces east so for half of the day I get some natural light plus indoor light but in the afternoon and evening it's all indoor light.
Focusing doesn't seem to be a problem but shadows on the upraised parts of the coin happen to me a lot. I find this to be especially true with the British Britannia coins.
