YourGeorgiaPeach Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 10:58 am My first ever proof set! Just got it in the mail yesterday, after a long and tedious out ordering process. (It was originally shipped on the 5th but had to be returned two weeks in due to address discrepancies. Ordered it again on Tuesday and finally got it a mere four days later) Anyway, I'm happy to announce I'm pleased with the purchase across the board; the standard issue proof pieces all look spectacular, and even the premium cent isn't even that bad. Based on it's shotty reputation, with most consumers reporting some level of tarnishing, there's only one blemish I found with this, being on the obverse directly underneath the 'In' in 'In God We Trust.' The reverse is more or less perfect, nothing of damage here. How does this compare to your respective purchases and premium cents? YGP Report this Post to the Staff

The same can also be said for some reflection at Lincoln's shoulders in one of the pics, I tried to minimize that as much as possible but for those wondering, they definitely aren't more smudges.

YourGeorgiaPeach Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 1:35 pm I'm aware J616, but this is an overview of the set as a whole, not just the premium cent. Didn't feel like this post really needed to be there. YGP Edited by YourGeorgiaPeach 03/24/2019 1:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5606 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 9:31 pm BrandaBob, To the Coin Collecting Family, Also congrats on obtaining your first proof set and bonus Cent, which is a sweet bonus. I wish the 2019-W Cent was made with the older planchets, More copper, lasts longer too....PS, The newer Cents are more than 99% zinc and electroplated with copper, about 8/10's of one percent....
