[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3022795, member: 27832"]As someone who probably won't order as many as 50 items from the US Mint over a [I]lifetime[/I], I find this a rather high bar. Well, [I]that[/I] certainly doesn't beg any questions at all. I get it, I really do; I'm sure there are big dealers that return a lot of stuff, and I'm sure there have also been episodes where lots of individual buyers returned things when an expected flipping opportunity didn't pan out. I also get it that many would view a detailed [I]non[/I]-discretionary policy as a target for what they can get away with. But the gold Kennedys I ordered were [I]all[/I] obviously flawed even to my not-especially-well-trained eye, and half the silver anniversary Kennedys I got were flawed. Even the one platinum eagle I talked myself into buying had a big ol' spot on the reverse; I kept it anyhow, but I really should've sent it back. Pretty sure that for me this policy will just mean I'm less likely to buy. I'm small-time, though; they won't miss me.[/QUOTE]
