I just received it today. After I opened the package, I saw a yellow spot on the proof dollar: Does this hurt coin value? Should I return this set? Report this Post to the Staff

This is a sold out set so I understand your dilemma. You may not get a replacement. One option: return to get your money back. Wait 6-12 months and buy brand new on ebay @ 10-20% off issue price. 20,000 sets were minted so you'll likely come across a deal soon enough. Report this Post to the Staff

YesOrNo Valued Member Canada 367 Posts	Posted 05/27/2017 11:32 am Thank you all for your kind suggestions. I decided to return the item. Canadian Coin & Currency requires a customer to contact them before returning an item, so I just sent an email to them. Report this Post to the Staff
