[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1046983, member: 19065"]Hmmm... I understand the Mint may/does rinse coins with some sort of solution during production. The remainder of this substance appears on the surface of the coins that I received, coins which are brand new and just released. In this case, I do know that I did not receive coins that someone else had previously returned. So the Mint / PBGS could not have cleaned and redistributed these particular coins. I'm not sure how to even verify that the Mint or PBGS is in the practice of cleaning and redistributing returned coins to their customers. Can you? I don't entirely doubt the practice, and it certainly seems plausible, but I will say that my [I]say[/I] in the matter was in rejecting the inferior products I received under my subscription order. I returned all of the problem coins (5 out of 8 units) I ordered for my money back. I have subsequently canceled all future subscription orders for this product as I am uncertain I wish to buy these coins direct from the Mint in future. This product quality issue is not excusable.
