    Please, the screws need to be flipped around so the working side is in the rear of the set. Other than that single distraction, nice gift.

    And new screws that haven't yellowed are available and very inexpensive.

    I've seen aluminum screws that are even more attractive and tighten perfectly (without stripping like the soft plastic ones can).

    That went well.
    Nice set, Surf.
    I will refrain from posting anything that I like.

    You're exactly right. I forgot about those.

    I received from a family friend an uncut sheet of 32 $2.00 bills purchased from the BEP.

    Way cool.

    I will get them framed and display them in my coin room (as soon as I get a coin room).

    That's really nice @SurfinxHI . Reminds me of GSA Guy's toner set (from way back) in a similar capital plastic.
    Let me guess, a Christmas present to yourself? :D
