Bought a tube of 20 and one of them looks like this.

So what is the procedure? Can I mail just this one coin back or the whole tube?

Check out the one on the right.

looks to me like the one on left is uncirculated, and the one on the right is proof-like
I like the difference between them.

Not going to bother calling APMEX, I'll probably keep it or toss it on ebay and see what I get..lol

It does look unique the more I look at it.

I like the difference between the two. The one on the right does sort of look proof-like. I would keep it

Just toned, which is a condition all silver bullion is heading towards unless stored in a vacuum. If it really bothers you get coin dip solution $2-3 a bottle and problem solved.

It looks a lot better than on my dealer's site. Interesting coin.

I saw Rwandan coins as well, but they looked quite ugly, to be honest...

This one is quite good. I see they're sold at low premiums too.

One of these day I will buy eZest coin cleaner and coin dipping solution and try it on the coin.

I'm confused about this coin. Are there 2 types available? Proof like and BU? If I bought a tube from a bullion dealer, would they be BU or proof-like? Any ideas? Would prefer the proof but not sure where to get them...

One thing I notice... a bit poor design. Something is weird about it.
