2019 Proof Set W/ W Penny

Hi, I just purchased this set proof Littleton for $29.95. The extra bonus W penny seems to be a hot item. I'm now debating whether or not to buy another one. All thoughts and comments are appreciated. https://www.littletoncoin.com/shop/...p_category=&parent_category_rn=&storeId=10001

I wouldn't. Most of the "W" cents have been scuffed. Also, FYI, you could've gotten this set from the mint for $2 cheaper and you wouldn't have had to deal with Littleton's annoying coins in the mail program.

 

What do you mean, furry?

 

@furryfrog02 is correct. I've noticed Littleton isn't quite a scam service, but will totally rip you off whenever possible. The testimonials they post on their website are very obviously cherrypicked. If you like the things they offer, I suggest you take a search on eBay. I've found myself saving money countless times.

 

There seems to be a fairly widespread blemish in the field at 10-11 o'clock and a smaller one about 2-3 o'clock. I don't have a picture but there have been a couple of posts on it.

 

This @rickmp

 

@rickmp Here's a picture another CT member posted of the 2 main areas of the blemish on the 2019-W free Cent with the purchase of a 2019 Proof set.

Here's photos of one of mine free Cent. The blemish is there but minor when compared to the above.

Notice the small strike through at 2:00.

 

Even the PR69DCAM have the scuff.

 

Oh I see that now. I can better visualize. Might have to cop a set anyway

 

I'm ready for the other 2 also.
Note: I didn't crack out the PCGS cent, the self slab one is one I bought at the Philadelphia mint in person.

 

Here is mine. Same scuffs or whatever you want to call them at 10 and 2.


I purchased the silver proof set on the 17th. Should be here on Monday or Tuesday. Wonder how awful the reverse proof cent will look with that one. I didn't buy the set for the cent though. I bought it for my son who will be born in September. I get all the birth year sets for each of my kids. Otherwise this would have been a hard pass from me.

 

Congratulations on the kid! Raise him to buy you coins as a birthday gift when he's older
Thankfully my birth year set was cheap (2002)

 

Ouch. that one has 3.

 

Thanks. My first son was born in 2011, before I started collecting coins. I missed out on the ASE set for him. Now it is way out of my price range. I have managed everything else for his birth year as well as my daughter's, 2016.

 

I have one on order also. It's coming smart post so I may get it Wednesday.

 

I hit the jack pot, and it's a 69?

 

This is why I don't care for TGPs...

 

that's why I self slab a lot of items.

 

Thanks furry, good info! Yes on Littleton, I've gone down their path. But super easy to cancel. Going with the mint now. Scuffed or not, they are cool!

 

Beautiful Carr.
I've thought about self slabbing some of my better, more valuable stuff but have just decided to keep them in the flips that I started out with. Keep it simple. Keep it cheap.
