First: I couldn't turn down this "complete" 2003 Clad Proof Set for only $2.95! ("complete" meaning every hole in this holder is filled!) Second: A 2012-S Clad Proof Quarter Set in a nice Whitman frosty holder, for $10 The problem: You may have noticed this Whitman holder has six holes!

I would think they could sell a Quarter lens from a cracked 2012 Set. Then again, maybe they were trying to sell more of those Whitman holders they had two full boxes of...

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 12/18/2012 12:13 am I would be saying someone at dealer #1 had a twisted sense of humor, but Whitman is making six-hole holders for a series that has five designs per year... Report this Post to the Staff
