    Got mine in the mail yesterday. Took pictures of it today:

    Overall I'm happy with it, but the mushy rim on the top of the reverse is a disappointment.

    When I open the box there's a strange smell. I'm guessing it's the box & packaging. Anyone have the same experience? I hope the fumes/gases aren't dangerous for the coin.

    Yes that's from the packaging. All the previous ASE sets had that smell at first and it did not damage the coins.

    I was really excited for this coin but after seeing it I'm really disgusted with the U.S Mint. The details are way too soft. Congrats to all who enjoy theirs though.

    the fumes are to intoxicate the buyers so the wont know they got ripped off. :D

    Yes, I think I agree with the posts above! gold is soft as can be. So why couldn't they get a nice strike? I got mine today. I like it, but.... gold merc sp70.jpg gold merc sp70.jpg gold merc rev.jpg mercgold obv.jpg rainbow holdergoldmerc.jpg
