I generally have little or no interest in moderns and things out of the U.S. Mint but this has me intrigued, I must admit. Too late to order direct so I will see what they are going for at the Baltimore show.:whistle: The Gettysburg Address sheet is a great touch. "The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here..." Abe couldn't have been more wrong.
I was a day late in ordering and got the back order message on 10-18. I just checked and mine says in stock and reserved! :kewl:
My first LN6 set (of two ordered at separate addresses) just arrived this afternoon. The set is beautiful in presentation. The proofs look very dynamic with the mirror surfaces against the granular(?) devices. I particularly like the proof cent capsules with the larger diameter / space around the coin. The proof cents look great and I'm glad I stocked up on the 2009 4 pc. Lincoln cent proof sets, which are yet to be delivered in November. However, the silver dollar still doesn't grab me. Yet the silver next to the copper cents does look appealing. I also like the luster and tone of the proof cent coins when you rotate them in the light. There appears to be 'warmer' ranges of copper color as you tilt your view. I fully expect to see these coins tone rather quickly despite encapsulation and anti-tarnishing techniques in place by the Mint.
I've got a few issues too Leo, but only while using an 18x loupe. At that power you dang well see things you don't want to see......
Received mine today and all of the coins look nice. There is some toning going on from the center out on LP1, 2, & 3. Other than that, the set looks nice. I am happy I was able to get a set. Good Luck everyone!
According to the Tracking, I should get my set tomorrow, with my other set due on Saturday (3rd one was canceled). Yippeee.
