I sent my sets back to the mint. I keep 1 that I purchase at the Philadelphia Mint. I did buy a PCGS PR69DCAM. As far as the other two I'll just buy the "W" cent when I see them and not the whole sets. As you can see I'm already ready for them.
If you don't mind me asking, what are you folks paying for this coin? I don't buy mint products and have little interest in Lincolns, so I don't have a clue what they cost.
I bought the entire proof set only because I get one for each of the burth years of my kids. I think the set was like $27 or so?
The US Mint is offering 3 free Lincoln Cents with the purchase of 3 different sets from the Mint. The free (if you can call them that) Lincoln Cents are a proof, an uncirculated and a reverse proof. Check out the Mints web site for all the details.
Ha! OK. Like I said, I don't buy mint products so I'm pretty stupid about how they're sold. So I guess if it's a freebie, then a blemished cent is no great loss, right?
Yeah I'm not really sweating it. I would think the mint would have better QC but then again, I'm not too surprised...
Thanks for the info. My question was born of idle curiosity, so I'll take a rain check on visiting the mint site.
