<p>[QUOTE="joerich, post: 1704308, member: 50927"]I purchased three silver proof sets and all three arrived with defects in the plastic casing holding the coins. I was able to put together one good set from the three. So I am thinking of returning the other two sets, but not sure if it is worth the effort and looking for some advice. The defect in the plastic case(s) are about 1/16th inch irregular shape bubble?/mark?/defect? in the plastic. when held just right I can see visible stress marks (like oil reflecting on water in a concentric ring type pattern) reflecting around the defect for approx 1/4 inch. I have bought 3 silver proof sets each year for my now teenage kids, so I am not a serious collector but don't want to keep a set with a defect that would obviously decrease its value. Also, as far as my rookie eye can tell, I didn't see any problems with the coins themselves (spotting/toning/etc.). My question is ...how much does a defect in the plastic casing affect the value of the set? </p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
