Finally see grades for my one set. No email notice yet. USPS tracking shows received 11/7. Actually checked in 11/10. Just over 30 days in process. Ship back Monday or Tuesday. Get to me Friday or Saturday, 12/20.
Mitch, I agree...it looks tough on these. I would LOVE to have a nice 70 set...the RP and enhanced look cool. The timing just isn't there for me right now, so that's why I kept the raw. At least I didn't chase the rainbow for me on these personally. If that were the case, I would just purchase one of your sets on the BST as you have taken all the risks and done all the work.

This result is not terribly surprising to me. As I alerted everyone who sent me a private email (with the detailed explanation why), this is to be expected, not the raw figures in the pop report.

Casman / ET AL, I remember seeing that place on the coin before sending it off to PCGS. It looked to me as if the finish was a little darker in that spot (like the opposite of a break in the frost of a cameo coin) and of course the TV photo enhanced it - I do not believe it is a milk spot. You know as bad as I would have liked to have gotten more 70's, taking into account the quality and handling at the US mint with PCGS grading ( as Mitch is saying ) I was not shocked at the grades. I mean really, when you pick up a 69 coin you want to say "nice" and a 70 should be "wow" - I like that Hence the reason we want an impartial persons opinion. In fact I am please with the grades and TV.
Just a quick personal note: I know there is much discussion on the Enhanced S minted coin, but my favorites are the RP and the closer to business strike the D mint coins. Also I chose the standard label, cause I do not like to turn the coin over to read the label - just a personal preference.

Interesting... The NGC version of the Enhanced Kennedy DPL in 70 grade is driftly closer to the $500 mark on ebay now with the recent sales. I think we will need a few more PCGS sales before determining a reasonable current range of value on the PCGS DMPL coins.

7/8 ... I have also created a pile of PCGS-MS70PL coins that are far nicer (depth of cameo) than the typical 70PL coin. So, far "that and 10 cents gets me a cup of coffee".

Mitch, we couldn't get them out. A bunch of the guys were trying as well. I know for sure we made it through 8 sets and I got so frustrated because the keys were scratching the capsules and making it harder to screen them.
Dr. Fish ... the butter knife works great for me as well. Except I can't seem to catch a DMPL on my line that way! Maybe the car keys is the trick to get 10% DMPL's!

-Ah ha! Now I know why no DMPL for you. The secret is using a jackknife with a pointed blade to pop 'em out. One 70-DMPL in 95 ain't bad . . .

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Look at all the new designations. Label-steria seems to be taking over.
70 DMPL continues to be the rarest mint product for the Enhanced version in the set.

I'm not surprised. I thought the 2014-S might have a shot, but I knew the RP was not going to make it. I dislike RP's anyway - I think they are ugly.
I didn't bother to pay for First Strike or the special holder. I wonder how many other plain Janes there will be

<< <i>Mitch - which one are you thinking should be held onto? >>
I'd guess it's the 2014 S Enhanced PCGS 70 DMPL...There's one on Ebay now over $4K ending tomorrow night... Ended at $4,750.00
0/5 on post-FS DMPLs
5/5 on post-FS PLs
4/5 on 70s
By the way, my son and I have written an article about these (4) pc. Silver sets which should appear on our website next week.
Stay tuned.

I sent it in with some others to PCGS, it came back as a 69PL. The front was spectacular as shown in the earlier picture, the back not so much.
