I got in 3 sets ordered of the 2010 Presidential PF sets. These were a gift from a friend and fellow collector. Here's my dilemma; one of the 3 sets would actually pass a quality control test, the other 2 sets are dinged up really bad. My question: I don't want to have to involve the person who gifted these to me and have him ship them back. Since I have the receipt and the sets, should I be able to deal with the mint directly about swapping these sets out for better ones?

Any ideas?

If you have the receipt there shouldn't be a problem.Years ago they wouldn't accept returns but that may have changed.

I don't know if I would return something that was gifted to me unless it was something you wear and it didn't fit. I guess I am just that way though, I have things fellow collectors have given me that I do not even collect myself but I will not get rid of those things no matter what. I would sell some of the coins I had purchased that I do collect before I would get rid of the gifts. I had someone do something like this to me once and it made me feel like it wasn't good enough for them, it was free to them so what why does it matter what it looks like, if they cared as much about me as I did for them they would want the original gift instead of one they picked out they liked better. If you return something someone bought you the sentimental value goes with it in my opinion. All of this is just the way I feel and I am sure others have different opinions but if I didn't pay I don't feel as if I have the right to be picky, I am just happy someone cared and thought enough about me to give me the gift in the first place

Depends. If your planning on selling them, then I suggest you first try calling the Mint and asking them if a replacement is possible. Otherwise, as already noted, those are gifts so didn't cost you anything so in that instance, I'd be just happy with anything given to me by someone.

The proof sets have some OBVIOUS flaws on them...Gift; I gave him something and he returned the favor by probably 50%...that's what happened...didn't mean to solicit analytical morals and values...just a simple question..but for what's worth, the sets are being put into a safe and kept for a long time...the marks on them are black marks, dings in the rims, and many scratches. I am VERY liberal when it comes to my personal collection of coins (can't say that about everything thank God), but these are just a bad example.
