justjimrob Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 09:36 am I placed my order for all of the various bald eagle commems' that I wanted. They have been arriving in multiple shipments and I am only awaiting the unc+medal set. What I have noticed about every single one of them is the abundance of lint fibers. Like I said, they are all coming at different times but they all have the same lint and a lot of it. Where are these fibers coming from? They are about 5mm in length so they seem too long to be debris from the velour proof boxes. Anyone else noticed this? Jim Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 6:17 pm I was going to order a lot of the 2008 stuff from the Mint in honour of my first child (due in April). I have already started to get some 1908 items for him. I have not bought anything direct from the mint since the late 90's. After reading the complaints against the US Mint's QC (in other threads), I think I will just get them at a coin show or my local dealer. Paying a premium for the ability to see them first might be worth it. So, I would also like to hear comments from the other members...

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 03/05/2008 3:18 pm Same here....only on the "outside" of the holders ....not the inside for me. But the "QC" is still not anything to be impressed by .....even when spending large amounts with them....sad really. There's no such thing as perfect & pristene through the U.S. Mint (except on the rare occaision.....) ...it should be the other way around ! But .....it doesn't stop me !

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 03/05/2008 6:46 pm Now that the Sacagawea dollar has been "approved" and the 2008 sets are "legal" I am facing a dilemma... order them from the mint or wait for the next coin show so I can inspect them. Grrr... Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
