Well, I looked at my 10 coins last night and I'm not sure what to think. Does PCGS detract from the grade for planchet defects (i.e. - pre-existing dents or scratches)?
The finish is attractive and for the life of me, I don't understand why the Mint would go to the trouble & expense of using multiple finish effects, come up with packaging for a special set, and then use planchets that have already "been through the mill", so to speak.
I guess that my question is really, what will they allow for planchet defects and still grade the coin a 69? A scratch that is over-struck is still a scratch, isn't it?

IN STOCK OVER THE COUNTER at mint Hq kiosk, small stack downstairs more upstairs. Dont know how many, just bought 3. Didnt see them last week. Gittem while they're there!
I wouldn't be surprised if they only made 15,000 sets at most and are holding back a few to cover returns, etc. Unless they minted more a couple months back, I can't see them going on the presses again to make more. Consider these an early Christmas present.

I received my two sets today and pretty much saw what's been reported. The finish is quite attractive, not quite regular in all places and certainly not perfect but no major detractors. Ink smear to right of portrait on the bbbboooorrriiiiinnnnggggg dollar bill.

I don't think that you can translate mintage perfectly into market price by doing the math. I was looking in my Red book and it has the Goodacre coin at $450 with 5000 made but the Detailed Tail Feathers (Cheerios) dollar at $2500 with 5500 made. So clearly there are other factors.

What makes me smile is that I think a lot of the thousand pound gorillas in the coin world got blind sided on this one for the most part. Some may hang out here from time to time but most may have been dozing or did not have time to get their army of proxy buyers going. Will be interesting to see how it works out in the long run.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the "N" just means it's unavailable, not sold out.
The Kennedy 50th clads also flipped to "N" when they were unavailable. They're back on sale now. That's why I didn't even mention it.
Question is this. Would the Mint go through the trouble of making more of a side show product so close to the end of the year and during the holidays when a lot of people are off work and distracted? My guess it no but you never know for sure with the Mint since they do have this obsession with fairness.

I'm actually in the "hope they don't do a FS" camp. I should have my 10 soon, but not sure what I will do with them right away. Since they will be sealed, I could always do the FS at a future point, but since I probably want to keep a couple, that means I either have to make a quick decision or automatically put them in the "non-FS" camp.

Their "sold out" for all intent and purpose right now. Would have to buy them on the after market and, like I said right now, I am unsure what I want to do. If someone ends up buying them, I generally would need to sell all in the single, unopened, box to keep the FS available to them.
I'm kind of wondering the mint's packaging on these now........last few have been "overpacked" when they didn't need to be (previous issues)

Sorry to disappoint you, but the "N" just means it's unavailable, not sold out.
The Kennedy 50th clads also flipped to "N" when they were unavailable. They're back on sale now. That's why I didn't even mention it.
For example, with the 2013 W Buffalo Proofs, last year.
The "N" on the weekly production website, seals the deal, they are out of Coins, (with the exception of a couple hundred for returns).
The MINT contractor missed Cyber Monday sales, these are gone, IMHO.
Adjust accordingly ;>
Has anyone seen these available other than on the bay?
