Yes, bought the graded coin and gem dollar, the seller didn’t provide original packaging . Didn’t mention it said 2015 coin and currency set . Surely thought set meant everything complete. Seller on E-Bay said I should have asked, he should have noted it . My take on that is, missing items loses value. Beware of those sellers

The coins appear to be more of a reverse proof .

I just opened the 3 I received and had the opposite. The packages were in good shape, the coins looked good (I’m no grader), and the 3 $1 bills were in serial number sequence. So for me a positive experience. Maybe you got a repackaging of others’ rejects?

Don’t just rant, write a letter to Dep Dir Jeppson. He’s been on the job for half a year so he should have figured how to pull his head out by now to start running the day to day activities of the mint. Maybe he doesn’t know what quality control is yet.
Or write a note to Treasury Secretary Lew and get him to start managing his managers.

I received my 5 sets today. What a HUGE disappointment! The coins appear to be more of a reverse proof rather than the enhanced finish of last years offering. Every single package in my shipment has some sort of damage (I do like the art work). The dollar bill serial numbers are not in sequence like they were for last year…

Then there are the coins…

All5 of my coins has some sort of issue. There are the spots that look like a gorilla with a jelly donut packaged it, there are the scratches, and there are the black spots. Then there is one that has something that looks like there is a small spider included inside the capsule. WOW, lucky me! Anyone want to buy a coin with a spider on it that is not from Australia?
The chowder head that is running the mint should take his kickbacks and move to the Cayman Islands so we can get some sort of quality control back and have something that resembles consistency.

Thank you for letting me rant.

With no bad thoughts to US ironworkers…

A 90,000 mintage?

Thanks. I needed a good laugh today!

This coin should sell out by the end of the year. Most of the coins were purchased sight unseen, based partly on last year’s EU and partly on the low number being produced.
Too many around the various blogs are lamenting the high number of coins produced. While it is an astronomical number compared to the FS coins, it is not when taken against the circulating coin population. While the Sacagawea coins aren’t sexy, the mint still sells about 3.5 million coins (both mints) annually, so 90,000 is a comparatively low number. Remember that all these are being sold numismatically, and dealers are buying the majority of the dollars in bags and boxes. There are enough to satisfy the demand collectors make, and the addition of the EU may help to drive interest in the series.
Once people see these, and the photos here are waaaay better than the pre-release information we got from the mint, there will be a secondary wave of buying. Because of the relatively low price, these should be considered a winner, even though they made it through the first day. Current sales are ahead of last year’s – partly due to the low keyed approach the mint took – but at 50,000 it would have been sold out in 4 days.

When the mint lifts the five per household limit this set will sell out fast. 90,000 coins is not a lot. We are spoiled by lower minted coins and there quick value they command. When there is low value and larger mintage everyone is quick to complain because they can’t flip for profit. In the long run this is a great set with a resonably low mintage. These set will be bought up by big coin dealers graded and resold at high premiums. You look at 2012 proof set and silver set, 2011 silver eagle set, there mintage is a lot larger except for silver eagle set and look at value. The only complaints should be profit takers clogging the mint website just to resell or complain when it’s not as good of profit once they get their coins to sell.

A lot of that pre sale hype (fraud) was supposedly stopped on the bay after the fiasco with the silver eagle anniversary set. At that time it was necessary to have the actual set in hand and photographed prior to posting the sale offering. Might be time to go back and verisimilitude that subject.
