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

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

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.
