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. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

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)?

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!
