    I am going to be a contrarian and state I like them both. Although I have, and always shall be, a proof kind of guy. image

    I can't decide which I like better, I guess I'll send them in for grading and keep the 70, Might be none, one or both! If nothing else I still have 20 of the medals (which to me look the best for detail)

    id prefer the uncirc, but seeing some of the pics looks like alot were scrubbed on the reverse, that is after seeing a few pics on here.

    The four medals I received had a lot of funk on them. Any of yours?

    image Very nice coins. If I ever have to seriously sell my coins, these will be the last to go. Oh, mint still has the unc, "for sale", so I ordered another the other day. Just received a cancel e-mail. Surprise,who would have thought.

    There have only been two thousand something Jeff FS threads.

    This thread title is misleading. image

    And, according to the neighbor, I just missed FedEx by 10 minutes. imageimage


    image..... later!!!

    Well at least you don't leave near Utahcoin so your fedex driver likely doesn't know what is in there and you should get your coins image

    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

    I don't mean to be a spoil sport, but this is the worst reverse for such a gorgeous obverse since the bald eagle had to share time with Susan B. Anthony.

    Well you know what I mean... Liberty looks so classic and the reverse so "commemorative" looking. image
    anything but a monument for the reverse....

    I love the obverse, but the reverse in lame. How about an Eagle with arrows, and an olive branch, or something.

    That statue just doesn't cut it, IMO.

    I got mine today too. I like both Proof and Unc. If proofs bring more I will sell that and keep the unc. I really like the obverse but the reverse is forgetable. I really like the packaging. image
