Not seeing the star spangled banner anywhere on either side of the gold coin. Silver coin design is much more appropriate and I wish they’d switched designs for the coins.

I placed my order yesterday, before the price hike. Should get them in a couple days since they qualify for expedited shipping.

Here’s another case in point. Did you get yours yet? I think it’s actually pretty nice looking, esp. the proof.

All things being equal the 2 coin set should have gone up $10. I guess that’s the way the mint calculates things.
