<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2014276, member: 27832&quot;]Just managed to pry mine open -- they came today, two sets in a box that was HEAVILY GLUED shut and nearly impossible to open. (Also, the postman didn&#039;t stop for a signature, despite Mint policy stating that ALL orders containing PMs are sent with signature required.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t much like the packaging. I agree that it&#039;s kind of dumb to put them in a &quot;presentation case&quot; that completely hides the reverses, and it&#039;s a REAL pain to pry the capsules out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like the look of the enhanced-uncirculated coins. The reverse proofs look like, well, reverse proofs -- &quot;goofy&quot;, in my opinion. The Denver standard-uncirculated ones are really nice, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two quality issues so far:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) One of the reverse proofs appears to have some gunk on the chin and cheek.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) One of the enhanced-uncirculated ones has what appears to be hairlines in the reverse fields -- bold enough to be distracting when the light hits them from the correct angle. They don&#039;t appear to cross the devices, although it&#039;s a bit hard to be sure with the &quot;alligator&quot; frosting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to get pictures, but it&#039;ll be a few days before I get to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
