I will be getting this set. Nice design, but mintage expectations seem high.
My US Mint Commemorative Medal Set
I'm happy with it
Does anyone else see the design flaw on the reverse?
A men's basketball is about 9.5" in diameter and the rim has an inner diameter of 18" - or almost double the diameter of the ball. The coin design suggests the rim is only slightly larger than the ball - but no way close to double.
I'll pass on this issue -
