It really was a bit of a secret that the Congratulations Set 2017 would have a Sanfrancisco minted silver eagle, But you would learn this if you were subscribed to mint blogs or checked coin world weekly? So what are the opinions of the collectors, do you feel the mint left most of us high and dry? It even appears that even NGC was caught by surprise. Because the default trolley label won't be available until April 19th.[/QUOTE]
