Absolutely ridiculous. If were to take a coin and run it thru a device and obtain the same results it would be called a fake. The mint can do this and people will pay a nice premium for them? What a joke. I guess it just goes to reinforce what I have always believed, that an item is worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

I started with a 2 set order for the silver proof sets. Sent the first 2 back received the replacement pair and kept one, sent the other in for replacement and received one with a cracked quarter case and the box was dog-eared. Sent it back for a refund. They just cycle around the returns till someone keeps them or until the milage adds up to their "not for issue any longer" point. Its disgusting! nlp

All coins returned to the Mint for any reason are sent to China. Many here think our Mint still makes coins and currency. Our Mint is only a government front with no people working there except the ones that send and/or receive such items from China. Since so many of our products have been outsourced to other Countries, our government now does the same with our money to China. And why not, they have already been making so much of it anyway.
