  A lot of local people here in this area have purchased from Paul Simms, (just next state up), and I can tell you, they were not happy with what they recieved. If you order from that outfit, youd better be buying bullion related or packaged type material like modern proof sets.
  
  And from what I have herd its been like that for years, which means most likely when the set was originally purchased.

  That's why I never follow herd mentality.
