<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2016377, member: 19065&quot;]Actually, when it come to the K13 set, the two I bought and received were to my surprise free of the problems I have experienced in the past with coins direct from the Mint. So each and every one of mine are free of such defects and pass muster, this time. I also found the Enhanced Unc to be my favorite of the set, much to my surprise. I only bought two sets but could also afford to buy more, but bought only what I thought I &quot;needed&quot; and left the remainder of my household limit to others to enjoy. </p><p><br /></p><p>The point in my comments is pretty clearly stated about expectations meeting the levels the Mint has customers ramped up for and tends to express in their selling of the history of minting such a modern coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a modern coin, one of the iconic designs coveted and admired by so many collectors, and one of my own life and era as a collector that I&#039;ve had the pleasure of knowing in my journey with coins. However, don&#039;t let my comments fool you. </p><p><br /></p><p>I love earlier and older coins, most times, and not just because of the expense of Proofs from other eras, I prefer the circulated, worn and patina bearing coins of a long history spent in circulation, in bags taking hits and soiled in hands, pockets and tills. And I can deeply admire coins of antiquity, those crusted from sea wrecks and unearthed from hordes resurrected by metal dectorists and so on. </p><p><br /></p><p>But when it comes to the Kennedy design, one intimately experienced in my hands as a younger person, buying things, earned in my travails, received in annual Proof sets with stunning proof mirrors and frosty devices, such a Modern piece MUST shine! To celebrate this coins design in its 50th year of inception, of a coin so intimately associated with a beloved personage slain in his prime and shining image, it must not fail and yet to have failed so easily as to have gone undetected in a collector form, under the nose of Quality Control, for such easy to spot problems that could have been culled and replaced with finer specimens on their way to adoring collectors, there is NO excuse for this. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am but lucky to have gotten problem free coins, but I empathize for others who have experienced these problems with this set, as I have endured it with other coins bought direct from the United States Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
