  The quality is very mixed on these sets. Out of our multiple submissions, one averaged just 9% and some over three times this amount. Also, sometimes Reverse Proofs would grade a lot more 70s than the S Mint, although most of the time it was the opposite.

  Oh man that hurts and it has me a little leary about collecting moderns. I am sitting on my 2 sets awhile, maybe in a couple of years they will not grade as strict.

  Successful coin BST transactions with Gerard and segoja.
  
  Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.

  That's a big change from previous ASE submisions.
  Did the Mint throw QC out the window??
  Anyone else have a submission of these coins??

  In can say as a matter of fact that the regular proof coins I got in the 75th Ann sets were the worst I have ever seen of any coin released by the mint. Absolutely terrible quality, just terrible.

  I missed getting some from the Mint so ordered a couple of PCGS 70 sets from a telemarketer and one of those sets I cannot figure how the RP got a 70. It has 2 places where just eye inspection shows some flaws. Kind of gets me because I get so many 70 denials on coins with no eye apparent flaws.

  Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
