It is time for some major changes. We need a director that cares about collectors. So many are disillusioned. There are too many coins being issued. It is damaging the hobby and value of collectable coins. I recently ordered a proof silver eagle that had 2 major scratches on the obverse. There is also a lack of Quality Control.

Even with the naked eye, I immediately noticed several scratches on each of 2 of the obverses. Looking closer w/ a magnifying glass, Lucretia Garfield and Julia Grant had numerous deep cuts and surface scars on their forehead, cheeks, etc…It was not the mylar wraaping that was cut, it was the coins. I’m returning them Monday, but it seems to me it’s about time the MINT started packaging these 1st Spouse Coins with some care and respect. This flimsy mylar junk just invites damage.
