<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1071057, member: 10103&quot;]I believe that in order for you to get the 20th anniversary designation on the label, both third party services required you to send in the set (unopened) exactly the way you received it from the mint.&nbsp; If I&#039;m wrong, then someone please correct me.</p><p><br /></p><p>My feeling about the regular proof coin itself is that there is absolutely no difference between the two, that being the one in the 20th anniversary set and the one that was offered separately.&nbsp; The real pricey coin is the reverse proof as it was the first and only time the mint has done that process.&nbsp; The uncirculated version was the first time that a coin from that particular series showed a &quot;W&quot; mint mark.&nbsp; Up until then only proofs contained a mint mark.&nbsp; It was also struck from burnished dies which further distinguish it from the regular business strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO you can assemble your own 20th anniversary set for a lot less money than one with the designation.&nbsp; In terms of &quot;value down the road&quot; it probably doesn&#039;t make much difference but there will be some who would disagree........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
