OLD SF MINT UNC SILVER DOLLAR

CoinMeister

I have read so many people discussing the fact the mint has been having issues with coins coming out of their capsules. I have even read the mint is having issues with UNC Silver Eagles having milk spots. Thus, the reason PCGS will not give any SAE coins the MS70 designation. Today I received my Old SF Mint Unc Silver Dollar. I was happy with it initially. Then I showed it to my wife. She immediately noticed the milk spot on the OBV of the coin. It was immediately to the right of the 'I' in LIBERTY. You could see it even without my 16X loupe. (I should say, she could see it without the benefit of my loupe) Well, it is already on its way back to the Mint. Too bad .... I already have the proof version. It didn't have an issue. It was pretty cool to have the UNC....if only for 10 minutes. I called the Mint and they will reimbuse me for the postage as soon as they receive the coin. I did ask for a replacement. Guess my fingers are crossed on getting one that is in better shape. Otherwise, I will return the next one too (upon final inspection by the wife).

Anyone else received the coin? Any problems? Or is it just me!

I got my UNC. dollar today also. My coin is very clean and the obverse strike is hammered. The reverse is another story. It appears that the reverse is weak as the breast feathers on the eagle are very weak and ill defined. Anyone else see this on their issues?

I just got mine today as well-- WOW! Nice coin! Not a problem on either side, and it was solidly in its capsule. The obverse is nicer than I expected it to look, as far as designs go.

My two (one now given as a gift) were absolutely beautiful uncs. Near to perfect.

The problem with open holders was with the gold coins. My gold coin was loose inside the box and the plastic was floating around, too.

My silver stuff was perfect!

My silver uncirculated looks fine. I'd also say next to perfect.

are these worth any big bucks too?

This is probably one of those issues where only time will tell whether it goes up dramatically, up a little, or stagnates.

I never buy US Mint stuff, but did decide to get 3 proof sand 3 uncs of that one. The proofs came and appear as flawless I could hope for. The uncs are in stock and reserved; so I should have them very soon. Hope they come as nice but will watch out for the spots.

My silver proof and uncirc commems arrived secured in their capsule, but BOTH the uncirc and proof Gold were flopping around in the case when they arrived just earlier this week. Is it so hard to close the capsule first?!?

~As much as the Mint ticks me off, my coins are even more TICKED~

Yes, the capsule problem is with the gold. They require very little to open. The capsules for the dozen silver were tight as always in the past.

However, on the silver proofs, while there weren't any milk spots, there were many flaws-mostly nicks on the building-steps, stairs, windows. Much lower quality than I ever would have expected given the quality of the ASEs, which appeared to be in awesome condition.

Too bad. Thanks for the headsup CoinMeister. I receive my delivery on the UNCs shortly.

All the best-

Seems like its all over the board.

My Proof is so-so but the UNC I received is flawless as far as I can tell.

I got mine with either a Triple or Quadrupeled Die Obverse.

should I keep it?

It is probably from the multi strike process and shouldn't have any extra value. They look nice when you find them. Some of my SAE have the same thing.

I sent 2 proofs in for grading after sending several lesser grades back...

1 DCAM 69 the other DCAM 68. I can only imagine how the ones I sent back would have graded.
