Haven't got my set yet (I was a procrastinating orderer) but I should get my S proof tomorrow. My C&C set is on the way.
quick note: Im not sure if others have mention it but the 2012 s reverse has a PCGS population of 583 for PR70 First strike. as of now. compared to the 2011 reverse PCGS PR70 First strike population of 8,132. the 2006 reverse PCGS PR70 first strike POP is 523. links to PCGS population. (none of those coins belong to me) http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/20389680/ 2006 reverse first strike pop. http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/24054217/ 2011 reverse first strike pop. http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/26261489/ 2012 reverse first strike pop.
Very interesting numbers. Thanks for sharing that. So does it mean that Pcgs graded coins will command a higher premium for those RP?
My results are back from NGC.

I got my 2 sets and put the package into another box and sent it out to NGC. I'm still awaiting any confirmation or grade notification. I asked for the "FIRST RELEASES" designation. If not, I'll get Early Releases. But still no notification.
I ordered around 3pm on the last day. My order still shows as backordered with an expected delivery date of 10/31. Am I going to get my own personally minted set or someone's returns? Or will I even get it at all? I'm getting kind of worried and really kicking myself for cancelling the order I placed at 12:30pm on the FIRST day. :rollling:
I just got my 2nd set today in the mail. The mint sent an email stating it wouldn't be shipped until 9-28-12. I guess they are ahead on minting. This set looks better than the first, so far I haven't detected any spots in the frosted fields on the RP, and the regular proof looks great too. Might be worth sending in to grade.
