On the 2012 proof dollars I received, I noticed that on the side of each dollar, is an indentation, like something got jammed in the press and subsequently pressed against the coin. It appears each one is like this, and it still in the plastic case as received by the mint. On two of the dollars, it is very noticable, and the others, it is subtle. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to take a picture to post here, and I do not wish to remove the coins from the plastic. If anyone has ideas for a picture, please let me know. My question is this: Should I consider this an error, or a damaged coin? If damaged, would the US Mint exchange it? This is the first time something like this occured, so I am not quite sure what to do. Thanks for any insight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
