Also the flooding in the gulf coast.
Mine is on its way from Dallas, supposed to get here tonight but I don't think that's going to happen at this point. Most likely tomorrow.

Set arrived in good shape. Quality of the strikes is very good. The half and the dime are stunning.    I hope a future Liberty Medal utilizes the obverse of this year's dime. The art deserves a larger presentation. |

My order for 2 sets shipped today.
Noteworthy because when I placed my order @ 1245PM June 11, the Mint said the sets were already on back order and due in late November!
A happy surprise for once.

I got my set on Monday and I'm pleased with it. There are a few specks of foreign contaminants on the cent and nickel, but that's unfortunately been common the past few years.     Maybe I'm in the minority, but looking at all the quarter obverses together is so incredibly underwhelming. Boring actually. Zero originality. Other than the Mayflower, it's nothing but dead presidents and poorly recycled designs (that are also illegal). I like the dime and half dollar designs overall, but wow is the dime cluttered. It's plagued with way too many words. The reverse of the half dollar and basically all the quarters suffer the same problem. And let's not mention the price.  I'm happy with the set as a silver proof set, but I expect that as I take it out of its box over the years to enjoy it, I'll spend very little time looking at the quarter lens. |

@ CollegeBarbers: I've got a case of quarters fatigue too. . .dates back to 1999. . .

Very nice! I actually like the quarters. But as I have been told repeatedly, I am not normal.  |

What's crazy to me with THESE quarters is that only 1 obverse out of the 5 is Washington! And I too enjoy the quarters. Kinda wish there had been a 2nd round of ATB, but I must not be normal either.  |
