Message:: [QUOTE="franklin_food, post: 157800, member: 6431"]I'm "new-mismatic."  I had the same exact question, and being naive as to who I should ask, I called the mint myself. As you all probably could have predicted, the woman who answered explained that no one knows (aka no one at the mint will tell me) if the uncirculated coins released on Sept 28 will be identical to those in the anniversary set. Not satisfied, and sensing that she wasn't getting irritated yet, I pressed on: "I understand that you can't tell me for certain, but what are the chances that the uncirculated coins coming out on the 28th will be made at West Point? Is it even possible that the US mint would make them there? What do they traditionally do?" She replied that the gold unc coins could very well be made at West Point, and that there are two places where gold coins are typically made, St. Francisco and West Point. And this year, San Francisco is busy minting the Old San Francisco mint coins... I'm no Magnum PI, but it seems to me that this means the unc coins will probably be identical in every way but the box to the anniversary set coins. I cancelled my order for the mixed set, which probably means I'm completely wrong and will be doing this :headbang: instead of retiring early.[/QUOTE]
