4th shipment inovation dollars p&d rolls that required signature. Shipment packed separately two packages signature required. Tried to tell mint they were paying for it. Customer representative didn’t understand kept saying usps is responsible. This is why our government is inapt 34.50 shipment free delivery tack on another 3.99 for signature required.

I called the mint no explanation. My last three shipments had signature required.

Ventris,

We needs some mules to pull the coin hobby out of the dull-drums and add some value to the economy.

Cheers

Major D,

I guess it is a die scratch. Something malfunctioned or blew up in the production run. It appears to have impacted BUs and Proofs. There may have been a lot of FOD or stray metal flying around. Made on a Friday after lunch? You should call PCGS. Cali, Thanks for the link!

Rick,

Attached is a picture of what I use. A dry optical cloth used for eye glasses. I got a stack of them from the Walmart Optical Department. Those Amazon wipes have alcohol in them and that could damage the holder.

“There are now five types of Virginia quarter errors”, by E1 and Ricks favorite error(2023 Extra. V) specialist, Mike Diamond over on Coin World.

He doesn’t cover, Major D’s “exact” discovery, however what is described, sounds as if it is the “culprit” IMO. An excerpt below and the link is above.

“Finally, this series of quarter dollars displays a steadily increasing number of die scratches and tiny die dents. The striking chamber was occupied by fine debris that continued to mark up the dies throughout the press run. These die markers had previously allowed me to define seven distinct die stages (A to G).”

PS BTW, word on the street, is that grading of an error is more often than not, not needed, nor will it necessarily translate to a bigger pay day.

You previously spoke about using the optical cleaning wipes for slabbed/holdered coins. Such as the ones that you might find free at Walmart.
I’m going to get some for my graded coins(fingerprints, etc.)to keep them looking their best, also for cleaning reading glasses, smartphone, etc..
Is there anything that you’re aware of that is in these wipes that could be detrimental to the Holders?(harsh alcohol, chemicals, etc) There are dozens of these wipes on Amazon for example. They pretty much say the same thing, that they’re safe for eyeglasses, camera lenses & so on…
The Holders are a Plastic composite, No?
Trying to be safe..
Such as this one below..Any recommendations/Brands/Precautions?
