[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2017208, member: 27832"]One of my two sets is going back today. That set includes the reverse proof with gunk on the chin, the regular proof with debris on the obverse field and a cracked capsule, and the enhanced uncirculated with pronounced hairlines across the reverse field and "stripes" across the obverse portrait. I'll try to post pictures later. There was a WORLD of difference between the two enhanced-unc coins I got. I was willing to believe the "scratches" were just part of the finish, but one coin showed them prominently, and one barely showed them at all. The standard-uncirculated coins were both pretty nice. I'm still thinking of trying my luck with more sets. I really like the look of these (except for the reverse proof, but that's just me), and I have reason to expect that I can get them with reasonable quality. (1 for 2 is much better than the 0 for 5 I saw with the gold proofs.) BTW, I agree with [USER=42727]@jpcienkus[/USER] -- the packaging is really disappointing. But I really don't care much about the packaging. The gold proof packaging was pretty nice; I didn't care about that, either.[/QUOTE]
