I have 4 Ike reverse proofs, all with flaws. I am not happy with the quality control on this set, I thought the Truman dollars were sketchy! I photographed my two, and my son's two coins, and thought it would be interesting to see how you guys would rank them in desirability. Coins are numbered 1-4, if you think #1 is the best, #3 is second, #2 is third, and #4 is worst, then your reply would be: 1,3,2,4 followed by any comments about the coins if you would like. The coins were removed from the capsules for the photos, as I was hoping some of the flaws were just junk from packing. Unfortunately, the spots and scratches/marks you see are on the coins.  Coin number 1   Coin number 2   Coin number 3   Coin number 4   |

4 2 3 1
Is it my imagination, or is the spot on 3 in the exact location of the flaw on 1?

Will acetone help?

I stated in the Truman thread, that no one would ever return a set unless there was a hole through one of the coins. Number 1 makes me reconsider that. I'd return it, because you'll never like it, nor will anyone who ever wants to buy it.

I looked closer at 1. There's also a flat spot on the upper left ear. That coin looks like it took a face down ride on a concrete floor.
What's that stain on the lapel on 3? Looks like some dirty solvent evaporated on it.

Acetone won't hurt but it probably won't help...

Geez, it may be a safe bet to buy a 70 when they start coming out before the market realizes how hard they might be to get

Looks like I lucked out as both the medals were flawed in my sets. (lucky US) The Mint sure did a bang-up job with these coins.
Makes you want to buy more quality US MINT products!
