<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Beatty, post: 2347657, member: 77338&quot;]Can someone please enlighten me about the quality of US Mint &quot;Presidential Dollars&quot;?&nbsp; Here&#039;s what I am seeing:&nbsp; I purchased a 100 coin bag (2015 P Kennedy Presidential Dollars) from the US Mint. When the bag arrived, I was really disappointed in how the coins looked.&nbsp; I&#039;m experienced enough to understand bag marks (especially when I&#039;m getting coins in a bag!) but what shocked me was the massive degree of spotting...looks like a rust colored surfactant...like a problem with the final rinse.&nbsp; So I politely called the US Mint and discussed this with them &amp; my expectations.&nbsp; They gladly exchanged my order for a different bag...I was eager to try again.&nbsp; So the 2nd bag is here.&nbsp; 87 coins have the spots/stains.&nbsp; 12 coins are spot free.&nbsp; 1 Coin is an accidental &quot;Eisenhower&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can someone with more expertise than me tell me if this is to be expected?&nbsp; Is this acceptable?&nbsp; I see websites with photographic grading aids...where they show Sacagawea in MS67 with the same sort of spots.&nbsp; I was careful not to touch the surfaces (only edges) of any of my coins...and I wear craft gloves...so my coins haven&#039;t been touched by human skin.&nbsp; Does the spotting seriously degrade the condition since it&#039;s something that (I believe) occurred in the mint process?&nbsp; Please explain!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
