Here are some of the real dogs out of the ones I bought en masse. Should I return these to the Mint to go back into the melting pot?

    Interesting.....I would have expected better quality from the mint image

    I still have 2 sets (bought 5, sold 3 immediately) that I haven't even looked at. Not even a glance. Maybe I should.......

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Soooo......every coin needs to be an MS/PR70 now?

    Uh huh.....I see.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    << <i>Soooo......every coin needs to be an MS/PR70 now?

    To give an answer to that question, no. But are the coins in the pictures enough to be considered as sub-standard, or defective enough that they should be returned and melted? I don't know if there is a definitive answer to that question, but I would argue that some or all of these may cross the line and not be an acceptable quality coin from the Mint.
