Is it ok to keep this proof set?

I just received the 2010 proof set from the US Mint and I noticed on the Lincoln $1 coin there were a few marks on it. I'm pretty inexperienced with coins and was wondering if the mark will affect the value, and if I should send it back to the mint for a new set.

It's right under the $1-

And then on the front the surface isn't as clean as the other coins-

I wouldn't want it on my Lincoln, of all coins! You can return the entire set to the Mint "for any reason." The question is, is it worth the price to ship it back to get a chance at a better one? Sometimes it is...

 

send it back. It will drive you nuts for years to come if you don't

 

Ok thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll get a new one

 

That's right, you may get a worse one later on down the road! Your choice! Personally I wouldn't send it back even if the Lincoln dollar is a bit musterd! You may get worse or nothing at all. just my 2 cnts

 

I have a set with a small flaw. I thought I could live with it and now it's driving me crazy. The mint does have a return deadline - and I missed it. I never thought about getting a worse worse set. If you have the funds, maybe order another set and sell the less desireable one? Just a thought.

 

I just got my Uncirculated set and I wasnt to happy with it. But its not worth my time or money to send it back. So Im just sticking with it.

 

I always prefer buying mint and proof sets in hand. There's PLENTY of them out there if you just take your time and select only the finest.
