Just because I got my 3 sets of proof cents and don't like any of them. Two maybe I can live with/ But the third set has a coin with a greenish spot right in front of Lincoln's forehead. Not worth the postage to send it back. The other two sets have small black spots on some of the coins.   11-18-2009, 10:03 PM   #17 (permalink) About Good Junior Member   Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: virginia Posts: 45 My Mood: Nothing wrong with the OP stating he got taken. Hate to see politically in vow bloggers try to strong arm their opinion here. He even said "not really" right up front. Nothing offended here, we all open topics that are much more crazier than this...so please be nicer The hijack guy above . Now he has a more pronounced problem, I guess he can send his back for apparent problems...   11-18-2009, 10:08 PM   #18 (permalink) green18 ANA# R3129541     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Long Island, New York Posts: 7,416 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by About Good Nothing wrong with the OP stating he got taken.

If i did not have a large enough power magnifier, i would never know the initials were even there. For this reson, i will give a thumbs down to the present day designers or engravers of these coins. you are bad at making threads!   11-19-2009, 10:59 AM   #20 (permalink) kidkayt Senior Member   Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 312 Innocent humor when taken seriously has a life of its very own!   11-19-2009, 03:10 PM   #21 (permalink) CoinOKC Don't Drink The Kool-Aid     Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain Posts: 842 My Mood: No one here has really answered Dave's question and I'll be darned if I can either. I think the problem lies with the Mint blasting these things out at around one billion per second in combination with the low relief. I can barely make out the VDB either. __________________ Scotty   Page 2 of 2 < 1 2 Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
