Got mine in the mail today. Now I can sell them on e-bay! The look nice, no rejects. I figured ordering proof was safer than ordering uncirculated. I've had mixed luck with uncirculated sets over the years. The mint doesn't seem to take pride with them like the proofs. One of the pennies in my 2009 unc set is upside down.
I decided not to order any. At FUN 2006, I got NGC to donate these extra sample slabs to one of my forum buddies in Mass. so he could put them on eBay to raise funds for his troop to send kids to camp. Every year, they sold Xmas trees for the same purpose, but when the state headquarters heard about the slabs, they demanded that the funds be turned over to them to use as they saw fit. By the way, it was Dena Skeffington of NGC who arranged this for me. When I approached her about it, I was expecting to get 5 or 6. I was caught totally by surprise when she gave me 45 of them. Dena is such a sweetheart! Chris
