The clerk was getting annoyed with me as she had to open at least 6 or 7 Proof Sets before I found one that didn&#039;t include spotted or nicked coins. I am referring to the Silver Proof Set which commands a premium price so I had expected perfection! Even the set I purchased was not 100% perfect. The Scagawea Dollar coin is particularly prone to spots and the Kennedy Half often contains a scratch or two on the polished surface. The included notice that &quot;Your Coins have been carefully inspected&quot; is a joke. If they were carefully inspected ,then the workers need new glasses!&nbsp; Spotted proof coins are supposed to be rejected on-the-spot. At least with the Uncirc sets, you expect a few nicks and aren&#039;t paying premium prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
