Exactly. They obviously have a unique business agreement with the mint and I would think that they may have a lot more information about mint production plans than others.

Gotta compliment those packing boys at the fullfillment center Schatzy. They sure know their stuff. How much was that package rattin' when it hit the door?
Can't tell you how many times I've ordered something from the mint and they've shipped it (one item) in an over sized box with zilcho padding (packing material). It's a miracle the contents weren't damaged.
My set arrived today, shipped on the 16th, all the way from Plainfield IN, about a 4 hour drive from me, looks like it traveled about 60 miles per day.
I can't get rid of all the 2009 singles I got so think I'll pass. I can't get rid of all the 2009 singles I got so think I'll pass. These *#^$ things have got to be the uglest coins man ever made even in proof but if it pleases you have at it. I only bought the proof sets to get the cents, nickles, dimes and halves. They sell and sell well but the $'s oh my God!!!

Got mine today and what a severe case of acne the backgrounds have. Looks like they are on their way back to the mint.
I think they have a problem with the plastic case, take the coin out of the holder and you will see that there is nothing wrong with the coin.
Why buy the presidental set when you can get them in your proof sets? I dont mean to offend anyone I am just curious. But then again I see a lot of collectors buying multiple sets whereas I buy 1.
I wish! These raised bumps are definitely in the background of the obverse. I'll go home and post a picture and you can see what I mean.
