<p>[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 4567124, member: 16729"]The coins are not silver, and definitely NOT going to be "good quality" if you want a set. More than half of them probably have some of these "problems." Honestly, I think the outrage in Korea is just a ~little~ much. They struck them as proofs, handled and packaged them in about the same fashion as they have been doing so for their mint sets for the past 10 or so years (which isn't the greatest, as I've noticed the same problems in previous mint sets). The mint definitely did NOT use its dust-free facilities that they normally use for their proof commemorative coins, which are almost perfect in every way and have been for the past 10 or so years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the Bank of Korea wanted to get this over with and wasn't too concerned about "proof quality." Kind of like, "Oh, alright. Here's your damn mint sets!"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
