Here is the coin that is professionally packed in a acid free bag and touched only wearing cotton gloves

I'd return it, don't like the amount of junk on the coin. Ask for an undamaged coin in return.

I just sent the seller a message and I was reading his shipping details and he says it will be shipped in a flat rate box and it was just in a regular envelope smh I guess that's the risk buying from eBay

Did he charge flat rate shipping fees ($5.20)? That's what it cost me for the last small flat rate box I sent with no other services.

That has to be something besides PVC damage. The coin was only released on 6/21 and that is not enough time to incur PVC damage. I do agree that the coin is a bit of an ugly dog though

It is pretty banged up with some stains on it. It doesn't look too good for a proof coin. I guess that is why he was selling it. I would return it.

It is not a proof coin, it is a business strike.

Its the first non proof coin they have done since the 70's it won't be released into circulation that's why I bought it I could have bought a roll from the mint but I don't collect rolls

Daniels Id probably just buy a roll get what you want out of it and then either sell or spend the rest. Youll end up having to weed through a lot of trash with coins like this from eBay sellers
