stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 11/27/2006 11:08 am Ordered the grand kids each a proof American Eagle as a stocking stuffer for x-mas. Two look perfect. Two have mechanical tripling on the date, the feet and the island or ground she's standing on. The one pictured is quadrupled in the same areas. Three out of five messed up doesn't say much for the mints quality control. Image: IMG_0296.jpg 50.85 KB Image: IMG_0296.jpg 27.81 KB Report this Post to the Staff

OldDan Pillar of the Community United States 1203 Posts	Posted 11/28/2006 1:52 pm If you ordered late in the issue, then what they sent may have been coins returned from prior sales and rejected for just those reasons. You come along and they reissue them in hopes of someone finally keeping them and saving the mint of melting them and starting over next year. IN the ASE issue it pays to order early and you will come out with much better coins (usually). Edited by OldDan 11/28/2006 1:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
