Curiously, the obverse side of all five coins is normally pretty clean. I only have 4 RCM issues, and all are from 1998, my daughter's birth year. So, I rarely see RCM products. This issue in particular though, seems problematic. Is that what others have found? I'm wondering if this is common knowledge, or just a problem with new old stock. Thx, Mark Report this Post to the Staff

I believe scratches are common on most sets as the antique look was a finish put on the silver coins and probably got scratched during manufacturing. I know my set has minor scratches on the obverse.
