Hi BQ,
Yep, I agree 100% that the mint doesn't really want to sell to individuals like us.
I agree 100% that the mint does not appear to care about the quality of the smaller denomination coins such as the Clad Proof set, or even the Silver Proof set.
As far as the real silver, gold, platinum 'bullion coins' I will not buy them for investment.
I did get my ASE in proof and uncirculated because I like the coin so much.
I get the Silver proof, clad proof and uncirculated mint sets for my albums.
The last clad proof set was just as you say... gouged, scratched, dented, spotty, and missing some cladding layers. I sent them all back and asked for replacements for the lousy things. I might get lucky and they will send a nice set.
Oh my, that sounds like the auction place... get lucky and the seller will send a nice coin instead of a dud which is very much unlike the picture?
We should not have to gamble on what the mint produces.
