In reply to Terri Cohen. I bought a Canadian silver Bluenose (sailboat) silver dollar from the Royal Canadian Mint. Superb quality, the case it's in is outstanding, superior to anything offered by the U.S. Mint. I guess it was produced in Canada and we outsource ours.

Mint overpriced these shows why there is not a sellout even after price was raised.

Should have kept it but the coin had a weak strike all around. I’ll buy extra burnished 2016 Silver Eagles. To bad I did’nt get one like the photos above.

Private indusry uses video recognition for quality control, and can catch any irregularities very fast, as the item passes under the video camera. The Mint should adopt this technology.

You’re getting the quality that the SES seatwarmer demands of the mint employees – i.e. shoddy, as is his style of management. Why they would put somebody with no experience in managing a manufacturing plant in charge is beyond me. I wonder if he even spot checks the output of the mint or just takes their word. Oh, wait – his office is in DC so I wonder if he even visits the different mint facilities more than once every 3 months if even that.

On the big pic of the reverse I could see a black spot on the rims right side of the coin. I received mine flawless but its a shame the us mint allows these coins to male it out. What kind of quality control is this? Smh

Terri,

I’m 2 for two on receiving perfect 2016 SLQ 24k 25c.
Both packages had been opened and poorly resealed before I signed for them, This was a first for me.

Maybe the 4 bad examples you got were other’s returns ?

I’ll know soon when my order of 3 is fulfilled. If they’re crap I’ll complain and look to get a paid for RMA. I’ll call and complain to someone that matters. Sending others’ returns to fulfill new orders is unacceptable.

I purchased four coins. The quality of every single one was poor. One had a scratch at the top edge with a gray color showing underneath. Another had an irregular edge at the bottom. Another had a reed detached and hanging in the plastic coin holder. The last had poor detail in some areas and various brown spots. What in the world is going on with the production of these and other coins that have a high premium on the gold content. I have had problems in the past with the quality of other gold coins, proof sets, etc. Who is responsible for quality control and why are there no articles with info about the poor quality of this and other coins? I’m certain I can’t be the only customer with this issue. It is outrageous.
