    Got took by the Mint ? Not really, but just wondering why the Proof (LN2) and the LN6 set of Lincoln cents do not have the VDB engravers Initials more pronounced on the coins ??? 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.

    Why did you purposely post a misleading/inaccurate thread title instead of one that was on point? That seems like a disservice to your fellow forum members.

    Sorry if it offended you. The purpose of the header was to get your attention.

    I figured that was the purpose. But it really can be unfair to get some one's attention and encourage them to open a thread they wouldn't otherwise open, via a misleading title. I don't doubt that a number of other posters will think it's perfectly fine, however.

    True. It's also a disservice to the Mint.

    Not offended but these reindeer games and school yard pranks (made you look ..hahaha) do nothing for your reputation as one serious about the hobby.

    I apologize to all those who think I did a disservice or misled them on the header title.
    Due to your negative feedback, I will hesitate to post anything in the future unless I can be more creative of an appropriate title.

    How about a hijack? 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.

    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...
