@RogerD, if I have time tomorrow, I'll try to put up a picture of my coins. I'm still waiting for the following coins from the Mint:
- Dino
- both Red-breasted and Evening Grosbeaks
- one more glass bumblebee
- Carmichael
- 5 penny sets

I can't believe how fast everyone got their sets. I feel like I should be waiting by the door today. The pics look really good.

I just got off the phone with RCM, after a 20 minute hold. I asked the rep why the long wait, and what item was getting the most calls now. She said the sold out 5 coin set, and the 1/2 oz silver penny. |

Don't trust the rep too much. Last time a rep told me Mantis coin is a very hot cake. Fortunately I did not follow what she suggested. They must be trained to promote certain coins.

I've caved in and purchased the 1/2 oz penny. I went in hoping to get the 1/25 gold penny but couldn't resist the 1/2 oz penny. Ended up with the 1/2 oz instead of the 1/25 gold penny

I received my 1/2 oz silver pennies from the mint today. COA #s were 1349 and 1351. I'd like to speak with the packer who decided to skip over #1350.  |

@MrPeidfort Honestly I was hoping that my Set would arrive before you got to posting so the scoop would be mine!  Looks good, it should show off well with the Foreign sets stacked away. @Lostwords, Panda and Cheney  The 1/2 ounce imo is the best tribute item, very affordable, the mintage allows for some pent up interest in the coin, and it shows waaaay better than a little tiny penny. The 5 coin set is pricey for 5 small coins that need a magnifier to see all the details. |

"The 5 coin set is pricey for 5 small coins that need a magnifier to see all the details."
That's why I bought the 5oz one (haven't rec'd yet) but the details on that one should be great.

Mrpiedfort, brades - such a nice photos. Thank you! Well, I also received my Fraction sets today...Probably because this release I ordered a lot (almost everything x3), so the Mint split my order. Would like also share some photo's. Want to believe, that people who didn't ordered Fractional - will do it! Did the pictures in the night light ....       |
