Nickel & Medal sets just arrived...

The nickels look pretty average proof. The Sackie is a regular proof, but wow! Maybe it's just that I haven't seen a proof sackie up close before, but it is really, really nice.

The medal is pretty bad. One of the worst pieces the mint has released in my memory. To say it looks like a wrapped chocolate coin would be an insult to cocoa. But it does have a nice heft to it. The reverse is shown in the box (I guess). The obverse shows Jefferson in profile. Looks like one of those Bicentennial coins the mint released en masse in '74 to '76.
