<p>[QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 41417, member: 2146"]My clad 2005 11-piece Proof Set arrived today and it's beautiful.

I'm sorry a few other forum members have expressed displeasure about their sets, but I would promptly return them until the Mint got it right. I have nothing bad to say about my sets. The coins are completely blemish-free, very well struck, clean of any fingerprints, lint or other minute obstructions. They're very bright, crisp and a pleasure to look at. This is one set that is defintely staying in my personal collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, I must say that the 2005 nickels look superb in Proof condition. The obverse really flashes at you with all that open field and the reverse of the bison is as clean and magnificent as I could imagine. The coin that I'm really impressed with (even more than the Bison - and I've been drooling for the Bison for 6 months) is the "Ocean View" proof referse. Wow! The edge lettering is clean, the design is fresh and in proof, it really makes it pop! I think this is going to one my favorite modern coins, beaten out every so slightly by the Bison Nickel. Thank you, U.S. Mint - good job![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
