    This set is a dud. You're paying a premium for packaging!! Limit 10 per household.....another way for the Mint to create a perception of demand!!

    I know but I bought the first set, received last years as a Christmas gift and had a complete Prestige set left to me a few years back, so I'll still buy one just to keep my run going, I'm ahead in this game of these bulky sets..image

    On another Mint matter:

    I was already ripped off a few days back for about $111 bucks when I received my five Mint sets, now they are not duds, that was outright thievery, real garbage, pocket change has looked better and so since they were ALL bad sets and I sent them back today.

    I'll probably get five more bad sets when they arrive again.......image

    I was a lot luckier on mint sets than I was on the silver proof sets. Out of five mint sets, there was only one bad looking coin, a spotted Madison dollar. Gonna keep these.

    You were lucky, I did fine with all of my Proofs (silver and clads) and I'm generally forgiving of the US Mint but this years batch of mint sets have been unreal.

    I think that they were at the point where they may have realized that the set actually may not make a release date in 2007 and really rushed these out as fast as man and machine could, the end result is all of the complaints you see hear and elsewhere.

    It looks like a proof set with proof Jamestown and Little Rock dollars......that's one way to get rid of some Little Rock coins. I think it's overpriced though.

    I have the first two, but I really don't care if I continue it or not. The packaging seems to be more appealing this year, and that's the only thing of the set I don't have.

    Looks like a good way to lose $50.00.
