Wish I\'d bought this one sooner... Jimbo4664, NJ Rating

5/7/2010

I was extremely happy the moment I opened the box. Despite occasional problems with ANACS items purchased through HSN in the past, this 14 piece ANACS Mint Set was absolutely stunning! HSN has hit a Grand Slam in terms of quality and presentation. From a collecting point of view, as an intermediate collector I can say I’ve encountered some graded coins with grades that I’ve questioned. But after inspecting this set with a 10x magnifier, I feel this set is worth every penny ( no pun intended ) because each coin was flawless. Add that this a First Day of Issue / Limited Edition - Numbered set, and you have a real winner. Secondly, unlike some other nice sets that come in cardboard boxes, this set has a beautiful Oak chest that is worthy of the set it carries. Solidly built, with nice brass hardware and attractively finished, this chest makes a good impression before you even open it. I admit this set may be a little pricy for beginners, but it's definately worth adding to any collection.
