  There are other threads where some of the buyers are not very happy with the set's quality.

  I bought 5 sets, the phillys are better than the denvers, both from a satin level and overall number of hits/scratches.
  
  The satin look really is nice, but it means that there is another coin of each type that I need to collect.
  
  I am pleased, there were some hits and scratches that I didn't like on the kennedy from denver, but stuff happens.
  
  The state quarters look really nice in my dansco album, both the 05 and 06 coins far outclass the previous years.

  I was very disapointed with my sets I got in the mail friday. Every coin seemed to have multiple hits, and this was over 10 sets I have checked so far, they will be going back on Monday.

  Mint sets that are damaged or otherwise unacceptable can be returned, why keep sets that are less than satisfactory ?

  Is it just me or is this true every year?

  My one set turned out to be great. I was holding off on opening it because so many people are saying theirs are so bad. But I broke down and opened the set and now I am going to order more. They are clean, nice satin finish on all the coins and P & D are both great strikes. I'll let you all know if the additional sets I order are as nice. Subscription? Yes. Maybe that is why I got good ones? I don't know.

  Some of the worse sets that I have seen in awhile! Lots of those nice deep scratches that look like somebody used a file to grind the surface, more proof like finishes than Satin Finish and rim dings!!!
  
  Anything without scratches or crumby planchets has spots all over it!
  
  Very disappointed.
