I just picked up this thread. . . Yes that is a lint mark. As we were discussing in the other message thread, the QC and manufacturing standards are simply not up to par in recent years. I don't think it was a mistake to send it back, maybe you'll get a better replacement. It's just sad that the standards are so poor today. I have several coins in this recent shipment that bug me a little, but 3 pcs (out of 17) that are just not acceptable. In my business (electronic manufacturing) that would be an incredibly poor reject rate!
I see the same thing you're seeing. I'm a little surprised that the other thread where we were discussing this problem got so little attention! I've been collecting coins for more than 30 years and this is definitely a recently introduced problem (last 5 to 8 yrs?) and it is getting worse.
