Thank you for your answer on the silver content @Green 18 , These look like a nice set but a bit expensive , I would rather put the money into older coins but would like them all just the same.

 

Such is the quandary......buy now, and incur the wrath of premium, or wait awhile on the aftermarket to see what develops. You can probably get better pricing down the road, but will the quality of grade be there? Who knows?

 

I don't know. I opened the outer case (or to use the new term, "Lens"), hoping I could wipe off the stains, but it appears to be on the INSIDE face of the inner plastic wrapping. Not good QA/QC for sure.

 

But not on the coin? Are you buying the plastic or the coin, . Send it back. There is an "Unacceptable packaging quality" box you can check on the Return Form. Give them a call and ask them to pay return shipping.

 

Its cheaper for them to just replace damaged items than pay for a Quality Assurance staff.

 

Who is "them"? Isn't them us?

 

"Them" is the US Mint.
If you receive a damaged/defective item, they will replace it with a new one and pay the associated postage for the exchange.

This costs them money of course.

What I am saying is the costs associated with this are far less than hiring a vigourous QA department staffed by dozens of government employees with salaries/benefits/pensions.

 

Seriously!! I don't think so. I'm an honest person wanting to buy from another honest person.

 

Good news they are still for sale, this morning, on the Mints web site.

 

I still don't want one. I'd sell it if anyone gave me one.

 

Whether you like the set or not, first day sales were pretty strong, somewhere around 106,000. The fact they haven’t sold out since indicates that everyone who wanted one — and still might want one — got it at the issuance price.

Good for collectors, bad for flippers. But screw them.

 

Nope, not changing my opinion of reverse proofs.

And with good close-up shots like this, that laser frosting reminds me even more of a 1970s 8-bit video game played on a TV with a bad antenna adapter...

 

Reverse proofs: You either love ‘em or you hate ‘em.

 

Precisely........and let Jeff 'go fish'.........

 

All a matter of taste, I suppose.

 

Since Prez Barry signed the new law, they just have to be at least 90% silver. That way they can just strike them out of .999 fine Ag, instead of the extra hassle (expense) of having coin silver made.
