<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kidromeo, post: 423828, member: 15085&quot;]A friend of mine from US who also happens to be a very generous CT member sent me the 2008 US Mint UNC P &amp; D coin set as trade. I was surprised to see the lack of quality control check in those sets as I never got anything from US mint before.</p><p>The first disturbing thing I noticed in the set is the Lincoln cent (D) full with carbon dots both in reverse and obverse.</p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.org/picture.php?albumid=104&amp;pictureid=2405" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd coin which I suspect to be an error is the P mint Oklahoma state quarter with a dot in 2008&#039;s 2nd zero.</p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.org/picture.php?albumid=104&amp;pictureid=2407" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.org/picture.php?albumid=104&amp;pictureid=2406" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the blurry pics. I was in hurry as my cam&#039;s battery was about to run out but I guess they are enough to prove my point.</p><p>My question is: Is my case an isolated incident or is it US mint&#039;s regular flaw in QC?</p><p>I won&#039;t be sending them back for replacement as I simply can&#039;t afford the high international shipping charge.</p><p>I am though really disappointed with these two coins as the US Mint claims its UNC sets to have above average strike and quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
