I really like the design of the silver medals. I would love to get some after the hype dies down.

You might get lucky with people buying the set for the dime and dumping the medal. To show it to best advantage you need a pair one forward and one backwards.

This is my hope.

Why by one when you can have two at twice the price?

Almost missed in getting this set in hand, the USPS tape a notice on my door, and just before she was leaving, I came out to answer the knock on my door, promptly signed my receipt and saved a trip going to the post office.
I took some quick shots and these aren't the best, but I'm pretty much satisfy with the coin and medal, still no FB on the gold dime.

So is mine Victory. I reached out last week and they said it is fine. I don't know if I trust this. I've been checking on it way too often.

I got my 2 sets.

One silver medal is going to be one of my new pocket pieces after I had to recently retire a few.

The "defect" on the dime is debris inside of the "airtite" as it moved when I tried to open the "airtite" unfortunately the open half of the holder is the reverse so it and the coin are stuck in there.

Like jbuck mentioned, I would have really liked to get the silver medal only. I can't see paying the high price for the set. Oh well, I'll give it a couple of years and see what is available.
