@SilverArt Looks like it's hit and miss with the RCM, once again. Hope you get a good replacement. |

My goodness, on the first image is this a scratch on the coin, or the capsule?

Without opening the capsule I used a loupe to examine it. I am sure the scratches are on the coin. Also the nick under the the bird is very visible to the naked eye

I am no were near a expert on this but those
"scratches" look like production miscues to me.

Let's add to "Uh-Oh" even more: have you seen the pictures on the other forum, where the member got damaged set and needs to return it to RCM? But being honest to RCM and the item - need to understand, that might be only 1% of these sets will have some imperfection. RCM used one of the best traditional techniques - Proof finish with gold layering - to mint very nice set. Regardless above: we are (public) very manipulative. Exactly the same was screened in the brilliant series "Black Mirror" |

Though my photography skills are nowhere near as nice as Canadian Coins, I'm of the belief that my coins match those of his. It is a truly stunning collection of pennies. I give mine a WOW.

Your pictures are quite good . Better than a lot I've seen . Including my own. And your coins are encapsulated.  |

I was so impressed with the quality of this set that I ordered another one just to confirm my assumptions. My second set arrived today and it is almost as perfect as the first. I only found 3 defects that aren't obvious to the eye. Here's one:  In my book, this is still the best Proof I have yet to see from the modern RCM (beyond 2006). The large surface of both 2oz coin is simply amazing. Perhaps it is because of the golden leaves and their stunning contrast. Not sure. Everything about this set is right on. Edited by canadian_coins

Received my set today from my order placed on October 13.Very pleased with the quality of the coins. There was a small nick on the edge of the case but easily touched up so not noticeable and not worth the effort to send back.
