[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 3144822, member: 15929"]I ordered 3 sets late in the day (around 6 hours after release) and paid for overnight shipping. Needless to say, the sets just do not jump out at me but I had to get some anyway for my Kennedy collection. I wish the US Mint would change their "proof coin" designs such that they really pop. By that I mean, rounded, high speed designs just don't do it anymore. These things are produced under higher and slower tonnage presses than coins intended for circulation yet the mint uses the same designs? No squared edges just rounded junk. Compare a 2018 Proof Lincoln with a 1964 Proof Lincoln. Both are the same basic design on the obverse but the 64 has nice, high relief, crisp tooling while the 2018 is just flat and boring. For the prices they charge, you'd think that some effort would be put into the product.[/QUOTE]
