The last 5 UNC sets arrived today. Believe these ARE some of the first minted, first packaged, and last shipped. A LOT better quality than the first sets I received from the mint.
Does anybody have any pictures of PCGS MS 70 PL graded halves from both mints?

I finally examined my 3 sets and I can't figure out how so many had trouble getting them out for examination. I had no problem after I looked at how the coins were inserted in the holder. All I did was use my smaller coin tongs and slid 1 side under the coin and just easily lifted up and the coin capsule came right out. All the coins looked good to me and I would say minimum MS69 but they easily look MS70., Now I wish I had bought a few more. I must say the reverse proof is stunning.

@acloco I only removed the capsules to examine under magnification. Then I put them back in the display box. I was gonna remove one set to put in my album but decided not too because they look a lot better in the display box.

@BadToTheBone - I follow this thread is for the clad set in the bubble card that is a little more difficult to remove from the package using tongs. Here is a link I follow for the silver set I think you are referring to. https://goccf.com/t/189402Edited by Neo13x

The usmint's website has the K14 set has out of stock. The mintage is set at 200,000 but according to the mints latest report only 197,749 were sold. Are the 2,000+ sets that's missing destoyed or just never minted?

I was looking at the numbers for sales from the mint and noticed they put the clad set up but the mint web site shows "out of stock" I'm a little confused as to if it is sold out or if the mint repackage some and had a few more for sale.... Kennedy half dollars: Coin Discovery Set - An Introduction to Coin Collecting - 5,020 | (+79) | -33.61% 50th Anniversary 2014 Gold Proof Coin - 71,080 | (+95) | -27.48% 50th Anniversary 2014 4-Coin Silver Set - 201,216 | (+645) | -28.96% 50th Anniversary 2014 Uncirculated Clad Set - 197,629 | (+7) |

@Neo13x - what are the percentages listed next to your figures above?
Perhaps there were 7 cancellations and/or returns available for purchase and when those sold, the status went back to "out of stock". Just a guess.

There is no percentage listed and I wondered about the mint selling returned items also but knowing they have a seven day return time limit and none where sold all of January makes me wonder even more. I am surprised to see the sales figures show some where sold recently when I thought it was already sold out. I already have my set so it isn't anything important, just curious is all.
