Message:: [QUOTE="National dealer, post: 14835, member: 487"]When I traveled down to see the set, three of the coins were already slabbed. The Dime, Quarter, and Eagle are all NGC certified. 64,65,65 respectively. The Half dollar is still raw, and I would grade it at 65 or 66. The Morgan was raw when I made the arrangement to purchase, based on the PCGS grading. The box looks like new, and has is hand signed on the bottom. The signature is too faded to read, but looks original. The hand signed document is more yellow than white, and a little brittle, but still looking good for its age. This is only the second presentation set that I have ever held in my hands. There really isn't words to explain what a feeling that is like. I would have loved to break open the slabs and put this set back together, but as a dealer, my personal desires are often a wish and a prayer. There are no numbers given on how many presentation sets were given to "Friends" of the mint, but I am sure that they are limited. My goal is to have the other coins bought by years end, along with the paperwork and box. The latter being kept for myself <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> If all goes well the box and paper will be a part of our display at the shows for a long time.[/QUOTE]
