Which of the 4 Silver Kennedy's in the new 50th Set looks the best? Poll

Ok guys, @krispy thankfully posted pictures because I haven't seen these yet. I like the enhanced uncirculated the best. I like them all though and I think these four designs are really cool.

Edit: @Morgandude11 posted his set before I could post...

was the unc put in there that sideways?

 

All mine were that way, I moved them..


Edit BTW - Enhanced Unc winning now....

 

ok i go with enhanced uncirculated too,

 

Just opened mine. Its a tie, all four.

 

Finally got to look at mine yesterday. I actually like these a lot better than I thought I would. Regardless I bought two for my sons for their possible future collections. I'll call one of those mine until that day comes.

Of the four which is my favorite? For those of you who know me, I know a lot here don't as I haven't been active here much, this will come as no surprise. The enhanced uncirculated reminds me so much of the SMS series. For those coins that came out with nice cameo contrast a lot of those have soft mirrors. This look is very appealing to my eye. I may end up purchasing one of these in 69 by one of the grading services just because I don't want to break up my OGP sets.

 

SMS...hmm I didnt think of that and that surprises me. That is mainly what I like to collect are the 65-67 sets. Very good point......mine even looks cameo?

 

Awesome! Take a look at my SMS cameos sometime, hope you'll enjoy them.

Here are some more pics, not the best, but an idea of what you get (unboxing) and setting up the OGP presentation.

Opening the new shipping container. There are two sets inside this parcel. NO protection of the OGP under the micro-corrugated board of the shipping container - beware of bumped edges when taking delivery of your coins:








The two K13 sets out of the shipping container:




Photo below: The top of the pic is the slip cover around each set of coins. The bottom of the pic is lifting the lid off the inner OGP of the set.




The lid is off and the set is nearly revealed. It is embossed paper board with a monochromatic two-tone design.




The set of coins is on top and the empty OGP box with presentation instructions insert sits in the bottom tray of the OGP.




Opening the set, we see the specifications card and history of the coin booklet (both different sizes and printed on different quality stock) inside a pocket of the presentation holder. When assembled, the booklets in this position would be upside down (see pic further down). That's rather a poor design for the initial opening, I think. The plastic foam sheet is protecting from the coin capsules and a plastic stub from making contact during shipping and storage.




Showing 2 of the 3 panels of the OPG presentation folder.




Setting up the coin presentation folder... BE CAREFUL!!! You may consider how far, fast and heavily you fold these panels to prevent any cracking of the glued together construction of the OGP.




This is how the booklets appear straight out of the box and immediately upon standing up the OGP presentation folder. Notice also the small plastic stub supporting the panel.




Note: The little plastic stub that supports the holder in presentation mode, this is made of a soft gel-like plastic that I think to be a very poor choice of plastics near the coins. This and the overall 'look' of the OGP are disappointing and a departure from the more lavish presentation boxes of recent years past.




Arrangement of the four coins in the set.




The faux-velvet lined coin capsule holder. VERY tightly holds capsules. BE CAREFUL!!! When extracting coins, the paperboard edge can be easily dented as you try to pry out the coin and you could crack the capsule. There is no way to exert any force through the back of the board to get the coin out. I used a dull plastic knife to get my coin capsules free of this holer. This faux-velvet sheds and fibers cling mercilessly to the coin capsules.




Embossed and darkly printed against the dark blue background, explanatory titles of where each coin resides in the OGP:




Shots of the coins:

 

Wow


Wow

What a nice collection! Thanks!

 

I ordered one set on the afternoon of the 29th and it shipped FedEx smartpost on the 30th out of Southhaven, MS. It went to Kansas City, KS and from there out here to California. It arrived in Sacramento, CA at 3:59am on Nov. 6th and was delivered by the USPS that afternoon at 2:23pm. All for coins look perfect and I did not have any problem popping them out with my thumb nail. Very little if any of the flocking on the edges and it easily wiped off. This set is my very first purchase of any coin(s) directly from the Mint and all went very smooth, no complaints here. I cannot say I have a favorite. As a whole the four coins look great as a set. If Capital Plastics were to make a four hole holder labeled for this set I would probably mount them in a black one. This box takes up a LOT of space.

 

Enhanced UNCs by 1....hmmm

 

It's not exactly a scientific poll.

 

IS as far as I am concerned........

 

average single raw coin from e-bay:
reverse proof shown the best price at $57.50. followed by enhanced uncirculated at $36.00. then proof at $31.00. and lastly uncirculated at $27.00.

 

In that case it's pseduo-science.

 

I think I got a DDO Kennedy

 

Mirror, mirror on the coin you're the fakest of them all.

 

If your talking the 0 in 2014...its MD...
