@buffalo12, first welcome to CCF. Second, while gold bullion is not my area of expertise, the issue of spots on uncirculated or proof gold coins has come up multiple times in the past. If you use the search box with the keywords GOLD SPOT, you will see several of these threads (along with a bunch of unrelated threads talking about the spot price of gold). Here are a couple relevant examples: http://goccf.com/t/299799http://goccf.com/t/292362The consensus seems to be get that you when this happens you should try to get your money back. Not sure if that is possible in your case. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 to CCF Spence has steered you in the right direction. And as to whether you are overreacting or not. You spent good money with an expectation that was not met. So in my mind you are not overreacting. |

No, you're not overreacting. I would be a bit disappointed too. However, APMEX currently has these for $45 over spot and definitely classifies them as "Grade: Bullion N/A," so the seller probably fulfilled their end adequately. That said, most online bullion houses have customer friendly replace policies so definitely contact them if it bugs you. I would, despite the hassle. I hope they take good care of you. Good luck. |

Thank you everyone for the replies! I purchased it from Provident Metals and under condition it is listed as "uncirculated." I have reached out to them requesting a replacement so hopefully they will agree to exchange it.

Provident is good about that, did you send those pix to them?

Thanks for the new replies! I did send a picture to Provident Metals and although they said they don't think it would affect the value, they will exchange it if I'd like, so I'm going to send it back. I'll post some pictures in the new member section of my coins once I receive this new one. Thanks again for the advice!
