In reply to Rick. Yes, and that NGC Genuine set is a winner pick I'd say!

Yes, agreed. Many set searchers are out there I’ve read. Similar to roll searchers in a way. Some scour estate sales looking for such sets(all kinds of sets, coins), Pickers, if you will. eBay and the other apps/bid/buy sites too…
Some get lucky, and some not so lucky..One(much later)may have a 50/50 shot at an E1, or a Tom estate? But then again, Toms Great Nephew, or E1’s Granddaughter(possibly), has gone over them pretty well I’d imagine!!
Tom I hope your Knee is good to go, there’s some shows coming up this spring/summer!

Rick i’d say probably opened, searched, yes! LOL Just hard to believe there are 60 year old sets out there, that “haven’t” seen the light of day or a curious persons, investigative eyes IMO. Not impossible, just unlikely, I’d think? More than likely just average coins within, however one never knows and for the “right” price, it could work out to be a good buy??? I’d go with E1’s advice and probably pass. Not being able to see the coins in pictures or otherwise, is definitely a hindrance IMO. Yet anything you’d buy at a show/LCS, that you could actually look at, has surely been “Cherry Picked” by now? At least to me it seems that way. If not , you’d probably need a lot and lot and lots of those sets, to sort through, to find any winners, such as Cameo, 67 or 68’s, varieties or errors, to make it worthwhile, is my guess. 500+ sets to ogle over and then, still just a maybe? Ponder?

In reply to Rick. Rick, I've bought my fair share of those looking for cameos. I'll take a pass on those Rick. I still have a stack of them in a box somewheres. Little by little they keep going up in value though. I've never seen an MS/PR 70 Franklin in any year. I still have a couple of PR-68 Cameo Franklins around here someplace.

In reply to Tony@GA. You are correct! I see the two! Very keen observation! Good catch. On another note Tony. You should see your GG coins soon, if not already? Remember though, on every order(this year I've seen)is the following message on your Mint confirmation order... "Due to new safety procedures at our fullfillment centers, it is taking longer to process and ship orders. Thanks for your patience." It makes you wonder if a security scare had occurred recently, or a newly implemented policy along with the addition to the Irving, TX fulfillment center?

@Dave in FL

I think I agree with you on this one.

Call me crazy but I think I see 2 Lady Liberties on this medal.

Twinkle, twinkle little star… how I wonder what you are…

And one for your bibbing pleasure Cali! You too E…
Let the PFUC-70 1964 Proof Accented Hair, or the 1965 SMS Ultra Cameo-70 be found!
Probably opened/searched, no?

I also bought a few D-rolls from the Mint the other day when they were available.. Also speculative..
After hearing yourself, Mark in Florida, and Cali’s Spidey Senses, I went ahead with it.(Thumbs up again). I was also looking at some other items that may succumb to the pricing range table(look at the $PM’s!)…
The last time I bought Mint rolls were in 2009 for the Lincoln, and DC/Territories Quarters, also speculative. Not much going on with those from what I can tell..
Speaking of Rolls, and one of the very, very few ungraded offerings from GC–This one looks interesting to watch…

In reply to Rick.

Thanks and thumbs up!
Agreed on all 4 points that you made!…
Let me repeat what I said in regards to your #1), I guess you missed it. I said…
“nor I find anything necessarily wrong with what the Mint/Director had done in 2023.”….”and with all due respect”(to you)…

Your #4 point had completely validated all 3 of my points…

I buy from the Mint and I don’t complain. In fact, I complimented Ms. Gibson in mid March face to face at the ANA show. I gave her Kudos on how she signed off on the handling of the Lib/Brit release, and subsequent cut-off…

My $Nickel–Hey , let’s up the ante to quarters! What do you say!?
From a friend, don’t forget that…
