<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8327522, member: 101855&quot;]I just received the three piece Negro Leagues Baseball set.

My photo makes them look worse than when you see the coin in person, but the struck-though in the center is visible with the naked eye. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1475869[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the time has come to stop buying mint products. All they do is raise the prices and put out shoddy work. The last Mint Director, who recently resigned was &quot;collector hostile and flipper friendly.&quot; I have not cluttered my mind with his name because remembering it would be counterproductive. Maybe the next guy will do better, but if these coins are any indicator, he has a lot of improving to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
