<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LobsterMan, post: 1476949, member: 38884&quot;]I recently ordered some 2012 ASE&#039;s from <a href="http://www.providentmetals.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.providentmetals.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.providentmetals.com/</a>&nbsp; (this item: <a href="http://www.providentmetals.com/2012-1-oz-american-silver-eagle-bullion-coin.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.providentmetals.com/2012-1-oz-american-silver-eagle-bullion-coin.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.providentmetals.com/2012-1-oz-american-silver-eagle-bullion-coin.html</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p>I placed 2 separate orders, and the coins I received each time look slightly different (only on the edges...)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/lUrG8.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i.imgur.com/lUrG8.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/lUrG8.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/TZn0a.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i.imgur.com/TZn0a.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/TZn0a.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am somewhat worried about the coin on the right in the pictures above, as it seems that the edge is bevelled as opposed to the square edges on the coin on the left.</p><p>There are some minor scuff marks and nicks visible on the coin on the right because it was dropped onto concrete :rollling:</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am just wondering....is this something to worry about? Could the coins&nbsp; have come from different mints? Is someone shaving metal off the edges&nbsp; or am I getting ripped off?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve contacted provident metals about this but I am still waiting on a reply from them. Some googling around didn&#039;t turn up anything concrete, but from some image search results it looks like some of them may actually have bevelled edges instead of being perfectly square?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been unable to use a high precision scale to get their exact weights as of yet, but from some rough testing with a ruler and fulcrum they both appear to be the same weight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
