<p>[QUOTE=&quot;keemao, post: 2095465, member: 43972&quot;]Shortly after my first order of US Marshal commems, of which I had to return quite a few of the $1 and 50 cent proofs due to marks, smudges on the coins, I ordered 10 more proof 50 cent commems to send in for grading.&nbsp; They were on back order for a few weeks and finally shipped over a week ago via the wonderful speedy FedEx Smartpost, which I personally hate.&nbsp; Anyway, they were delivered yesterday and I went through them and at least 5 are going to be returned due to gouges and small spots of metal missing from the surface of the coin.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if this is a problem with making a proof clad coin or what, but it is very annoying since I have to pay the return freight.&nbsp; I have also noticed that all of the coins are coming with a lot of fuzz and stuff inside the capsules.&nbsp; So I took some pics of the gouges the best I could using my Dino-Lite.&nbsp; A couple of the coins I had to tilt to get the gouge to show in the picture but in hand it&#039;s very apparent when looking at the coin.&nbsp; I have circled the area with white so it&#039;s easier to see.&nbsp; Just ticks me off that the product seems to be so bad like they aren&#039;t paying enough attention to the quality of the product.&nbsp; These would never make it through grading.&nbsp; And these pics were taken through the plastic capsule so you see more &quot;stuff&quot; than you would on the actual coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]393205[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393206[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393207[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393208[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]393209[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
