    Looks like you bought about 70 of them – is that correct? Or am I far off?

    I do find my invoice kind of funny

    Have you gotten your hoard yet? Mine is shipping today

    It has been a few years, but I remember NGC fees for mint dies as something near $60 for cancelled and $350 for uncancelled.

    Yes, I got them. 3 of the cents popped open during shipping. Heritage gave me a $75 credit as a result. It was 3 of the first 10 I looked at and I was really afraid I was going to have dozens of them. It was only the cents and they were all in the smaller second box FWIW

    If you are referring to me, I bought 66 of them. I'm not sure why. LOL. I think they are an interesting keepsake and at only $35ish dollars each, I think I can sell them at a profit. There's been a few sales on eBay but the pricing is all over the map.

    Looks like you bought about 70 of them – is that correct? Or am I far off? yes, thanks for the reply. I was only off by four.

    Each one has a unique serial number at the base of the die.

    Have fun and good luck with them.
