Quoteok, well it's definitely not matte Just checking you didn't get the rough end of the proverbial

I paid $266 for the 1902 set and $294 for the 1908 set.
I have bought about half a dozen sets from this particular seller and haven't been disappointed yet.
I did get a Matte Proof 3d coin for a measly $22 delivered and it looks to be PR63 or better :good:

Have you had any mattes graded?  What numbers did they get?  There's a lot of the sets around and I have 3 or 4, all very similar because they come out of the felt lined 1902 long/short proof sets.  Nasty toning and usually wiped.

This is my set so far, Plenty of room for improvement but the way these were treated at the mint I fear it will be rather difficult to source high grade coins for this particular set.

The PCGS images of my 1902 set are horrible so I took these and uploaded them to my set registry.
Not Perfect but I do think I am getting better at this coin photography thing :)
