Message:: [QUOTE="Modern Commens, post: 854072, member: 20737"]Thanks for your comments. I am sure that the handling of some of the commemorative coins by the original and subsequent owners are part of the problem. Perhaps the capsules are opened more than the eagles after purchase to get a better view of the details. The eagles are all the same so personally I am less inclined to open the capsule unless there is an obvious flaw. I have gotten commems from all over the country and the same with eagles so climate does not appear to be a factor when comparing them. I have purchased few commems from online dealers because of the markup. The eagles I can get locally and the price for them is always at Greysheet if he has them. I have an on-line dealer also that sells them at Greysheet and the few commems that I purchased from them were close to Greysheet and also problem free. Still when I look at the Boy Scouts I purchased directly from the mint last week, I think there may be something to the quality control argument also. The only eagles I have purchased directly from the mint are the 2008 'W' that are in the 2008 unc. dollar coin set. I cannot find anything wrong with them. Beautiful![/QUOTE]
