In reply to Mike Hunt. Hi Mike Hunt, I would like to hear an official statement from the mint on this subject. Are the coins damaged, or is it just the packaging? Right now, I think there is a good chance you will get the same damage on your replacement. I guess I still have a few days to decide.

Roy, Richard, Jeff, Carl, and Mark —
Looks like we all had the same experienced with the Uncirculated sets that I reported 3 days ago. Look at the picture I attached to that posting. But for the Mint to tell Roy that is was “just a defect” is totally not acceptable.

Let’s all flood them with our returns. What part about expecting a perfect Uncirculated set doesn’t the Mint understand.

In reply to Mark. If I get a replacement how do I know if the same thing won't happen again?

In reply to Dennis. How many of the 250,000 have this defect if that what it is? Error coins set.

In reply to Carl S. It is hard to tell, and I am not 100% sure, but it looks like the problem is the packaging, and not the coins. I can feel the indent in the plastic with my thumbnail. When I look towards the top of the coin rim from the bottom looking up it does not look like the coin is indented. Same when I look across the coin at a low angle towards the crimp. It does not appear the coin is indented. I guess we wont be completely sure until someone opens a set (not me) or the mint looks into it. Because at this time I think the coins are not damaged, I am am not going to return mine. Too much hassle. If someone confirms there actually is damage, I will rethink that.

I just received my 2022 mint set yesterday and I noticed all 20 coins have a nick on the rim in the same location at the 2/4/8/10 point. I notified the mint and they said it’s not for security reasons this was done just a defect and would send a replacement if I so desired.

In reply to richard anderson.

Richard & Carl —
Looks like both of you got the same “nicks” in your coins and/or packaging as me. While it would be my hope that it was only in the packaging, I am not giving the Mint any leeway on it.

The problem is that there is no way to really know unless you open it up … which seems to defeat one of the main reasons you get it as a set. Would YOU buy it from someone if one or more of the coins had been tampered with? Didn’t think so.

If the replacement has the same issue I’ll probably just keep it and shut up.

On the other hand, the quality of the finish on those UNC coins looked exceptional. The Kennedy half looked almost like a proof.

Let’s all keep our fingers crossed. — Mike

In reply to Mike Hunt. The sets that I recieved have four crimp indentations on the packaging to hold each coin in place, but on closer examination it is only on the packaging and not the coins.

In reply to Mike Hunt. I have the same issue with the damaged coins. I called the mint and I am sending mine back too. Seems it's something the mint is unaware of.
