    I thought MS-68's had to be fully struck? The Boone, SD, and Lynchburg come to mind. Nice coins overall though.

    Great set. I'll take the Arkansas -- love that design and this is a great looking one.

    Some great coins in there (along with some AT IMO).

    <<I thought MS-68's had to be fully struck? The Boone, SD, and Lynchburg come to mind. Nice coins overall though. >>

    A number of the classic silver commemorative issues were not produced fully struck. To my knowledge, a full strike on an issue that never appears fully struck, has never been a requirement for an MS68 grade.



    << <i>Which ones do you think are AT? >>

    I'd like to know that, too? I have seen the coins in person and none of them look even remotely questionable to me. And ditto for in the images, for that matter.

    As good as these coins look in the images, they look incredible in hand. As just one example, when I first saw the Lexington many years ago, it had not yet been graded. My immediate reaction was that it was easily the finest and best looking example I had ever seen, and that I thought it should grade MS68. And I rarely make such sweeping comments.

    In case I get any more private messages, I might not be able to reply for several days, due to possibly not being able to get on the internet again until that time. My apologies.

    I have to admit that the Antietam (especially this one - the rev toning looks off), BTW, Roanoke, and Wisconsin all look a bit too...irridescent. Perhaps they are AT, perhaps they are not. It certainly could just be the photos. I will defer to Mark's judgement if he has seen these in hand. AT or NT either way, the toning on those issues does not appeal to me, although I'll admit that a certain amount of jealousy and envy may be clouding my perception...

    The rest of the set is pure eye candy! The owner of this set outdid himself.

    The coins are very much the real deal..
    I have seen many of these in person..I cant
    imagine any serious commem collector not being
    completely floored by the quality,rarity and
    most certainly the eye appeal of this set..

    Funny those are the best toners in the set. No they are not AT, they are toned the best that tab toning can produce.(period) Extremely rare to find with just the 100% rainbow toned, never mind the ms68 grades image Creme de la creme
