You don't do anything. It was a gift and it was theirs to do with as they pleased. But if you give them any other coins do a better job of...
They DID use wide AM reverses in 1995, on proofs. None are KNOWN to have been used for business strikes in 1995, but they weren't supposed to...

On the PCGS US coins forum I need someone to pass a comment on to ECHOES in this thread...

At least 2. Two previously unknown, to the numismatic community, coins appeared on the market in 2017. They were in the estate of a former mint...
More than likely it is just a private label for a bulk submitter. I'd say your dealer is lying. I don't think any silver eagle has ever sold for...
