<p>[QUOTE="Ciscokid, post: 40898, member: 1932"]Well, after reading this thread so far I guess I should consider myself lucky. I ordered 3 proof sets and 2 were pristine--just perfect and what I expected from the mint <i>always!</i>. The 3rd set however disappointed me somewhat because of the SAC. On one side it is perfect, obverse she looks like she got chickenpox. Water spots all over, I believe I see some type of corrosion, unfortunately the picture does not show the flaws as bad as a 10x mag, but milky spots all over real bad, like the water they used was dirty.. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Anyways I played the return game last year also with 1 set, it took 2-3 months to get the replacement <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> . Now if I return this guy I got to go to post office, pack it, pay shipping, insurance all for a dirty sac? hmm, maybe I'll bust this one open, send the quarters to NGC for slabbing see what comes back, the nickels are awsome, the dime looks perfect, now that penny, looks like old abe got a shave, very poor strike..hmm I'll have ta mull this over some more I guess.. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
