BigAppleBucky Valued Member United States 396 Posts	Posted 06/18/2017 11:14 am I ordered five sets and got them yesterday. It looks like at least three and, I think all five of the cents have stippling on them and there seem to be some flaws throughout. How can one tell, without cracking them, if the flaws are in the case or actually on the coins? My scanner doesn't give a good image or I'd of included photos. Is this a common problem?

Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 06/19/2017 5:07 pm I would think if the scratches are on the case, you'd see a double image of them; one the actual case scratch, and second, the reflection off the coin's surface. You should be able to figure it out with a loupe/lupe. Report this Post to the Staff
BigAppleBucky Valued Member United States 396 Posts	Posted 06/21/2017 6:29 pm I use a 10X glass. Should be about as effective as a loupe. I particularly noticed the stippling on the cents. Has anyone else with the 2017 proofs had a problem with them? Report this Post to the Staff
