<p>[QUOTE="Speedie, post: 1059857, member: 28064"]Thank-you for your very kind words. There are only 30,125 possible complete sets with the 1995-W, and given how many of those have been slabbed I'd guesstimate around the 25,000 mark that are possible in their original Mint packaging. So yes, I am very proud of this set, and it's nice to see them all together once in a while. I wish I could keep them at home all the time, but I don't think I'd sleep too well <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Unfortunately I've only lived in the U.S. for 10 years as I'm originally from England (don't worry, I signed the guestbook on the way in!) and only became interested in numismatics a couple of years ago. The 2010 proof is the sole one that came direct from the Mint and the rest were acquired painstakingly one at a time through dealers and online auctions. On the bright side at least Bing cashback was running when I bought the 1995 set! I rejected a couple of single proofs along the way for toning, but in general I was very lucky for having bought them on the strength of a couple of photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
