In reply to Larry.

Larry – I also agree with you, especially the reverse proofs.

However the Mint seems to have really botched the proof and reverse proof striking / design. According to the pictures of the Connecticut dollars, there appear to be 3 different strikes: highly polished (proof), standard polish (mint state) and frosted (rev proof). And even more importantly, the proof and rev proof are supposed to opposites – the frosted raised details of the proof are supposed to be highly polished on the rev proof (and vice versa with the mirrored surfaces becoming frosted).

In the pictures, there is very little difference between the pr and rev pr. A large portion of the field is frosted on both coins.

Very disappointed with the rev pr I just received. The other 3 releases for 2020 seem like the rev pr’s will look nice. We’ll see.

In reply to Sam. Maybe I am alone in this opinion, but I really like this series. Especially the reverse proofs. You can actually learn something by reading the packaging. I find it a very nice, interesting series to collect. Not too expensive so anyone that wants to can complete the set. I think my next set will be slabbed W quarters. These are the lowest mintage circulating coins since before my time and I am 67. Should be an great set to own.

Good golly. Innovation dollars for 14 years. That is way too long for a series to last. Ten years is too long. I think 4-5 years is a relatively good length.
