[QUOTE="tanner520, post: 62223, member: 1613"]According to Coin World, I was wrong about the mintmarks. All the "regular" coins will be S proof mintmarks but the commems will be P proofs. Here are links to larger images of the commems: [URL=http://catalog.usmint.gov/wcsstore/ConsumerDirect/images/catalog/en_US/5J1_popup.jpg]John Marshall[/URL] [URL=http://catalog.usmint.gov/wcsstore/ConsumerDirect/images/catalog/en_US/5C1_popup.jpg]Marines[/URL] However, Coin World also said this was going to be a 10-coin set, which we all know is wrong since the two nickels will be included. On the note of cost vs worth - I have to say that I think the $135 is gouging as well, since the total that the Mint sells these coins individually is less than the price on the set. However, this set's worth in the future could still be higher, in my opinion. Asside from the fact that this will be the first of the series issued, it also: 1. will have the last two Westward Journey nickels and 2. may be the only set issued with two nickels. By the way, thanks for the link, nick66[/QUOTE]
