Old Collector – yup, second time. I like the coin, it’s cool, and both my ellis island 5oz were damaged but did not know my return options had expired as I got to the coins about a week later.

I am not looking for MS 70 (etc) coins, not really concerned about that, but there should be no visible defects at all…

Pictured Rocks 5oz from Mint, coming in damaged.

There is a nick in the edge of the coin by the “P” (ictured Rock), 2nd one I’ve received like this. I have another which is perfect.

So, if these are damaged from mint, there are less than 20,000 minted. Now, by my count, 19,998 🙂

I’d really like the see the U.S. Mint move away from the current packaging that leaves fiber pieces of the packaging inside the capsule that contains the coins. It’s really difficult to see if a coin has damage or if it is just some of the packaging fibers on a coin. I won’t order anymore coins from them that have this type of packaging. I’ll just get TPG slabbed versions of the coins instead.

Hopefully the mint listens to the consumer / absorbs sales stats / the 1/10 ounce gold Liberty – top seller for the week / and continues to provide affordable options for their consumer base.

I love my 1/10 once 2018 Liberty / if they would have made it in a 1/4 ounce gold option, I would have bought it in a heart beat. Hopefully they do that for the next. Change up the fractional size for each new Liberty coin / First release in a 1 ounce platform than second in a new fractional size. Just an idea.
