Bret they were beautiful cameo coins but the obv. of the coins seem to be splashed with a red substance. I looked with great magnification and it was on the coins. Oh well I just sent them back to the mint for two more sets. I guess that is my luck. Glad to hear no one else got them on their coins. They weren't carbon spots but something had to be splashed on them because it wasn't on the inner plastic. Oh well good to hear the new sets they will send me should be clean. Thanks for the update Bret. I feel better now. It was a dark blood red in color.

Mine are fine. They look good in the Dansco albums.

Still waiting on my set to arrive. USPS took my package from my local distribution center and sent it 500 miles away to another distribution center!  Unfortunately, I've come to expect stupidity like this since Mr. DeJoy's "reorganization efforts," which have done nothing but lower the standard of service in my area.

I just received mine. The cent is fine, as are all other coins... EXCEPT there's a hairline scratch on the obverse of the dollar, in the mirrored field on the right. Will have to exchange for another... anybody else done this process before? Do they handle it smoothly and competently? Edited to add photo:

I have not had to exchange a coin or set (yet) but from I hear it is not that difficult to do.

It may be on the lens or the plastic retainer and is reflecting onto the coin. I have had many, many scratched lenses over the years, so you may want to confirm before going through the hassle of a return.

I looked at it under a loupe, and the line ends exactly at the edge of the coin. I believe the doubling is the scratch being reflected off the inside of the plastic and again off the coin surface.
Even if it were just a scratch in the plastic, it's bothering me enough to exchange it.

That is a possibility. Reflections can be tricky. Good luck with the exchange, the only real hassle is your time.

When I returned my sets I also talked to a woman at customer service and told her about last year for penny and the fifty cent Kennedy. She told so that's why there are selling so fast this year. I can see already the prices on ebay for the cent, wow.

People are going to be sorely disappointed when the cent shows up again in 2026.
