Message:: [QUOTE="Lemmyk, post: 290788, member: 5413"]Hello Green18, I stated your sentiment which is (was) exactly the same as mine either in this thread or in another. I had opened one set and I took it as OK that it IS basically a business strike and the coins were fine, good enough for my Danscos at least, a few flawed but at that time ok. The rest I put away for my kids. I have NEVER been a US Mint basher, I have never returned anything back to the Mint, even though I've had loose capsules in boxes and things like that but I let it go, until I opened the rest and saw all of the scratches, dings and that black spot on the cent was the kicker, so I sent them back. I hope I get some that others here seem to be pleased with as well. Below is my original quote: I received a resounding YES answer. I'm just telling you that I have Mint sets from 1947 to date and for except for maybe the 70's with the big Ike dollar clanking against the other coins over the last thirty years these by far were the worst looking Mint sets I have ever come across. I have received very beautiful coins in change during the year that look nicer. So, there is a first time for everything and maybe it was a bad batch.[/QUOTE]
