<p>[QUOTE="sio2ga, post: 2590785, member: 83570"]I'm guessing that there was a gap in the tubes so that the coins could move and jump up and down. Surely they sent them in tubes? The mint was offering them in a pouch as single coins. I wouldn't think they would ship these as singles just placed in pouches but it is Africa we are talking about. If they sent them in pouches then they got scratched, scuffed and dinged for sure.</p><p>One thing that I wondered about is that maybe it was not shipping that damaged the coins but they were just poor quality to begin with? The "damaged in shipping" could just be an excuse? The South African Mint pulled the silver coin from the website for local people, which is curious because the ones sitting at the mint over there haven't been shipped so shouldn't be damaged and available for sale. That's what makes me think it is a quality issue from the start before they were ever shipped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
