<p>[QUOTE="jcz1, post: 828703, member: 20494"]I picked up a wholesale lot of 10 2009 Australian Gilded Koalas in original packaging from ModernCoinMart, and I've noticed something strange. Each and every coin has what appear to be many, many tiny hairs or fibers on them. They are actually on the capsule, both inside and outside the capsule, and in some cases sticking out of the capsule (where the top and bottom come together). They are also everywhere inside the case that holds the capsule. These are only visible under magnification (4x), and only when you catch the angle of the light correctly. Since they are on every one of the 10 coins, I decided to check the 2 other Gilded Koalas I own (one each of 2008 and 2009) and they are on these coins as well, although not as numerous. So it appears to be an issue with these coins. My non-gilded Koalas, which do not come in such a case, do not have this problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone else noticed this on a Gilded Koala?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
