My two sets arrived today. The box sounds like a coffee can full of rocks. I hesitate to even open it up, who knows what I'll find !!

My box actually had some bubble padding in it. Last time it was 5 sets with just a single piece of paper.

Quote:I see these 17k mintage sets settling in the $200 range. As a good comparison, take a look at the 1997 Botanic Garden Coinage and Currency set that had a 25k mintage and includes the 1997-P matte proof Jefferson nickel. It seems to be selling in the $150 range on ebay. *** Edited by Staff to add quote tags. Please use them in the future.

1st post! ok received my sets today the bad news one of the capsules on the silver was cracked big time my heart dropped looked like a big scratch on the coin.. I only got these sets for the silver coin since the reverse is beautiful on them so I removed the cracked capsule nice and slow just to see the luster on the coin and not a scratch had some ASE capsules on hand and just put the medal in one of them. The good news all the coins look perfect I never sent a coin to get graded but going to pay the money to NGC and send them all in I have a strong feeling all would get a 70 I know that saying alot but the coins are flawless |

Welcome and congratulations. BTW, the silver one is not a coin. It's a medal as it has no face value.

I called all for my area and they either flat out said they didn't do it, or made it sound like they really didn't want to. |

That may actually be a real bargain. From what I've seen on mine and others that have been posted, 70s will be pretty uncommon. If it were NGC, I'd give it serious consideration. |
