<p>[QUOTE="Westtexasbound, post: 1913511, member: 54086"]I received an American Gold Eagle 1 oz proof. Looks great to the naked eye. I have a magnifying glass with a small section for further magnification. Probably at least 3 times if not more. Looking at it I can see a line in the mirrored background. At one angle it can be seen at another angle it can't so I don't think it's a scratch but something in the finish of the surface. I looked at my American Silver Eagle Proof and noticed some small specks on the surface. Kind of like small drops of tree sap on a car window. Less than 5 under magnification.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is what is the expectation of the finish in terms of returns. Is the mirrored section expected to have ANY imperfections under magnification. Especially since thousands of these go out the door. Am I being too particular and should the naked eye be the test? I know I can make the return but I worry it will be a never ending loop where each one has something minor under magnification and the next one will have bigger issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
