Not sure why it took me so long to snag one of these, but was stoked this was waiting for me when I arrived home today.

My image is crappie and that's only a reflection on the jawline of the silver reverse proof.

Good for you. They really are nice coins, and each of the special finishes is well done (there have been some recent coins where the finish was more a gimmick), especially as a group where they contrast with each other.

Very nice!

I especially like seeing the contrasting strikes side-by-side.

That's a beautiful set ElonU, nice pickup! I regret not getting one when it was released by the Mint, it would've been a nice addition to my Kennedy halves set.

Very nice -- that's a great set indeed. Did you pay close to original retail ($100)?

You can still get it elsewhere for the same price or less.

CollegeBarbers, I purchased this one below retail. Take a look at some final prices on ebay, you can find them for around $75 if you're patient!
