[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 442516, member: 4381"]I was being facticious. Every once in a while someone posts a ridicules assult on the Mint and it just ticks me off. The Mint does an incredable job and their coin quality gets better every year while putting out mind bending numbers of coins, not just for the US, but also on contract with a bunch of other foriegn nations. Occsionally they have customer service glitches or even packaging problems, but when you stack that against the quality they produce and their mission (they're NOT NOT NOT a PROFIT DRIVEN BUSINESS or a McDonalds), it is beyound me how they can keep up these standards year after year. Its been only in the last few years that the Lincolns are even normally COMPLETE in the strike. By the standards of the 1970's standards, everything minted would by MS66. Look at a new Cent, and then look at an MS66 cent from 1953, and then tell me that the mint is incompetitent. Ruben[/QUOTE]
