    My 10 sets of presidential proofs just showed up today. They look pretty good except for a few with scratches or small dents on the forehead of James Madison. A couple of the sets have the marks in the same place right in the center of his forehead. Anyone else get theirs yet? How do they look?

    I don't know Moen, to me the premium is so high that any imperfection is not acceptable. I have taken a zero tolerance policy with bad coins from the mint. I would return the bad ones if I were you.

    It's only a few of them and I will return them for sure.

    Pictures of the entire set.

    These are really beautiful sets. Even the box is really nice.
    The holder is also very nice, but you can't see the edge lettering very well.

    These coins are fairly dull in business strike, but very beautiful in proof.

    taz devilish for coins

    I was a bit disappointed with the packaging... I had hoped the Mint would find a way to make it very easy to see the edge lettering...

    Other than that the coins look great... Two of my boxes (I ordered 3) got a little beat up during shipping... so that too is a bit disappointing.

    I agree. I wasn't going to order this set, but after seeing those pics, I've changed my mind. They actually look quite good.

    Beauty is in the eye of the proof holder.

    They look better than the business strikes, but they still look more like some kind of token than a coin.

    Thank you - They do look much better than the business strikes.

    Neither. Investing in Coins is risky. Investing in moderns is even more risky.

    did anyone notice that the plastic case opens up and you can remove them in side another plastic cover?
