stev18 Valued Member United States 329 Posts	Posted 04/26/2012 10:38 pm 1. iPhone picture, sorry 2. Still a newbie, pretty basic question Purchased my first silver coin. I noticed what looks to be a small raised spot on the reverse shield. Is this just a bad coin or some sort of error? Kinda reminds me of how injected plastic items have the one little spot where the plastic went into the mold... Report this Post to the Staff

stev18 Valued Member United States 329 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 12:31 pm so basically when I ordered the coin in the first 10 minutes that it was available, and then my order says in stock and reserved for a week, they were busy pumping out nice shiny coins for all the big businesses to get high grades and then sent me the scraps... Starting to really hate trying to be a coin collector with how impossible it is to even get a shiny new coin... Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 1:15 pm It's kind of the luck of the draw. What stands out to us maybe acceptable to the mint. If you not happy with your coin you might see if you can return it? Report this Post to the Staff

I'd send it back but the form says I need to return the entire order and there was another item that was a birthday gift to my nephew. Plus it's been 8 days now so I'm sol ;\ oh well, back to pennies for a while lol Report this Post to the Staff

When they make them they all go into the same batch so there really is no way to tell which coins were struck first and a lot of it is just the luck of the draw with which one you get. That said I cannot say for sure that they dont have any agreements with certain high volume purchasers to give them nothing but early strikes or their coins before the public does Report this Post to the Staff
