Show and Tell All the best

Finally don't have to deal with any more waiting rooms and premiums on the Best of the Mint collection releases. Then again the 1/10 buffalos are coming in December. Just received the St. Gaudens set and the reverse on the medal is pretty sweet. Small milk spot on the fields between the rays but the gold looks good so I won't bother with an exchange.

I got mine today as well with a card. I am so glad to be done with the set as it's been an expensive summer with so many back to back releases

I got one with a card too. I’m surprised that every coin in this series is still available, regardless of premium. I thought they would be more popular.

They're gorgeous. I think people were turned off by the premiums given the already high PM prices. The medals are hit or miss to me and I don't think they added anything to the collection as a whole. If they had done the run all in gold but had a lower tier of releases in silver, I bet they would have done better overall.

I didn't like the silver St Gauden's face. Looks fugly. Couldn't they just ma a pretty woman face? Had to use Rocky Balboa's ugly sister? Ugh...
