American Liberty 225th Anniversary Silver Four-Medal Set

I relooked today for photographs and saw that only the Proof and Enhanced Uncirculated appear to share the same reverse.

Actually not sure if you're joking or not, but the four medals do in fact all have the same reverse, as depicted below.

 

Finishes. The same Finishes which is the selling point of the 4 Medal Set. Proof Finish, Revderse Proof Finish, Uncirculated Finish, Enhanced Uncirculated Finish.

The Proof and the Enhanced Uncirculated appear to have the same finish.

 

Could be that the photos don't do the finishes justice.

 

gentlemen, let me say again that there are 2 Proof Versions 1x with P mint and 1x with S Mint. The Reverse Proof, Uncirculated and Enhanced Uncirculated have P, D and W mint Marks
In order to get all you need to buy the individual "P" Proof Medal. as well.
Together, they all look nice as 5 Medal Set.
This is a unusual set that not many will but because it is not "Legal Tender" I do hope that most don't buy it . Would love to see this issue only being 10,000 sets.
Now to save up for the Gold.

 

I wish you all the best with that! Unfortunately for me, the math just doesn't add up: Social Security minus Five Grandchildren times Christmas = A Dry Well.

 

This medal is supposed to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Mint, right? What on there would even bring that to mind if you didn't read the literature? Very poorly executed in regard to what it is to commemorate. But it's "Artsy".

 

Actually, the medal has the dates "1792" and "2017" inscribed on the left and right quadrants at roughly eight and four o'clock of the obverse side, and that, I would think, qualifies as a very clear indication that the medal was produced in honor and celebration of 225 years of the U.S. Mint.

 

Yep. Without knowing what they are, the medals sure don't indicate what they are!

But hey, they're shiny and round and silver which pull on my "Pack Rat" strings.

BTW, I;m not holding my breath on these ever being worth what they were sold for. Either in 6 months or 6 years.

 

Meh. Not really. The medals only indicate a 225 year spread. in 50 years who will remember.

Basically, without the packaging in the future, these will be one of those specialty items that looks pretty good but a few hundred folks will be asking" "Anybody know what this is?"

 

My various and assoerted thoughts upon your comment:
1) Upon further consideration, I have to admit that is indeed the case.
2) Shiny is always good..."me precious" (thanks, Gollum).
3) The car's been driven off the lot, so there goes the original value.

 

At the very least it will be a test of future arithmetical acuity!

 

Or anything else that may have happened in 1792, like, the U.S. Postal Service enacted, first veto performed by a U.S. president, Kentucky becomes a state, the foundation stone of the White House is laid Washington, D.C., the death of John Paul Jones, re-election of President George Washington. At least the Baseball Hall of Fame coin had a baseball on it.

 

It seems that you have overlooked the 225 sets of initials on these medals.

 

Every time I look at the reverse of these medals I think it looks like the eagle has mites or some other bugs falling out of its wings.

 

I suppose it wouldn't have hurt to make mention of the Mint's 225th Anniversary on the particularly spacious Reverse of the medal, thereby not just commemorating the event much more clearly but also blessedly decreasing the size of that godawful-looking flying turkey of an "eagle".

 

Right...that IS a major indicator!

 

I love it. It looks like the eagle had alphabet soup for lunch and couldn't hold it in.

 

That can happen when you try to fly on a full stomach.

 

I sent my 2 sets back for a refund.
