I went down to the Union Station in Washington DC, they have a U.S. Mint kiosk store in there (I didn't know that) , mistakenly thinking the heralded Nickel Exchange was today, (it's tomorrow).
At the event tomorrow, the Mint will have $100,000 worth of new nickels for sale (or"exchange") at face value, but I couldn't wait and bought 2 of the new sets.
Pretty coin, strong observse fields, I think the reverse devices detail could be better.
Besides, the clerk said that he didn't know if tomorrow's offerings would have the same Westward Journey wrapper, or will include D's but I'll look to pick up some more rolls then.

    If that's true, you should put them on eBay tonight with a buy it now price of 2 or 3 times what you paid for them. You're one of the few people in the country that has these much sought after coins, for at least the next day or so.

    I thought of that, I'll see what I can get tomorrow before I let these go.
