Pay the extra money to have the coins shipped by UPS only. The boxes don’t come all beat up like they do from the post office.

In reply to Richard Margolis.

This is a beautiful set its to bad to see that every coin has something wrong with it. The first set the silver dollar was messed up and had to pay to ship it back. I was supposed to get reimbursed but that never happened and all I did was get a much worse set with spots in every coin so I’m sure the set was already returned by someone else and took the best coins and returned the worst. I was tempted to return it but decided to keep it. At least I have a set but I’m not buying any more from the mint. The people on the phone are the nicest ever to talk to but I’m sick of getting crappy coins. I have made lots of return coins and always Given a return label that cost me nothing. Don’t know why I had to pay for this one but oh well. Is what it is. One good thing is I always recived a nice silver dollar on there auto program where they send me a new proof automatically. I’m just sick of getting picked over coins that should’ve been destroyed by the mint and new replacements sent out. Good luck to the rest of you coin collectors. I’m coin news is awesome and I like to read what’s going on. You people do a good job. Have fun to you all.

Does it make a difference from which set a coin comes from? I see coin shows selling burnished silver eagles from different mint sets and tryng to enhance the value based on the set the coin came from. All of the burnished coins from a specific year are the same and to me, it doesn’t make any difference from which set it was pulled. Additionally First Strike and Early Issue iare bullshit. The coins are minted weeks and months prior to release and are sold in no particular order
Just my opinion

Dam, first order tiny dots all over the silver dollar, 2nd order every coin has dots on them. I swear these coins are returns from people that bought many of them and picked through them and kept the best and returned the crappy coins. That’s why they brought them back 2 times already. I was told they don’t send out returns but I think that’s bull crap. Sorry USA MINT but from so many returned coins I have gotten and sent back and this one I had to pay postage to send it back I’m done collecting. Time to find another hobby! Good luck to the rest of you out there

TY Nels… my bad! blackish tiny spots were on the enhanced 225th American Liberty medal from the set of 4 silver medals. The other medals were fine. My 2017 Limited Ed. Silver Proof set is fine. Thanks again for your input!

NWRobert, can’t say mine were (blackish) but more milky. If I knew how to send you a picture from my iPad and if it was ok, I would.

Anyone else have those tiny dots (blackish) on the dollar? What are they?

Nels –

Glad you returned an obviously set with “problems” (maybe a return from another customer!) & are getting a replacement that will hopefully be a nice problem free set for your collection. It is a nice set for sure.

Happy collecting Nels!

Seth Riesling, I was lucky and getting another set because the first had little dots all over the Silver dollar and greasy fingerprints on the outside holder. The very nice lady on the phone told me that most of the people that returned there orders was out of luck and only getting a refund and looks like I will still get my order. I hope the set I get looks as nice as yours.
