Long time no photo - Sacagawea Stuff

Got this in the mail the other day. It's a slabbed 2000 P and D Sac Set from the Collectors Mint (whoever they are).
I've seen these before and thought they may be a nice addition to my Sacagawea Fringe collection and it comes with a letter "signed" by Randy Teton who of course is the model for the Sac obverse.
Neither the slab nor the letter contains an original signature but it's kind of interesting as it's the only thing I have that has her photo on it. I have several other pieces with her autograph anyway. I am disturbed to say I paid $30. It's two run of the mill Sacs that are even fingerprinted in a cheap slab. The only redeeming quality is the photo of Randy for a fringe collector.
If I had it to do all over again I'd pass but I'm keeping it in the collection. Fringe. I kinda like fringe.

it's too bad the great reverse is going away next year (or the year after)...
I dig those circulated Sac's. Never seen one before. You should see me trying to spend Presidential Dollars over here on base in Japan. They'll take them but it's never easy.
Speaking of which I'm one of the lucky devils in Okinawa who is restricted to base in order to observe a "Period of Reflection" for how rotten we are to the Japanese. Not at all ironically I'm reading the book "The Rape of Nanking" when all this happened.
