2025 Proof set quality control

So I went against my better judgment and ordered a couple of 2025 proof sets thinking they MIGHT be something to have if the cent is discontinued. I have to say the quality is pretty bad. Many of the coins have lint on them….and these two Sacagawea $1 coins are…well…look for yourself. One has a large sliver of black plastic on it and the other I’m not quite sure what is going on.

    Is this some type of doubling, as the Y appears or just reflection on the 1st one, color sucks.

    That one has the piece of black plastic on Sacagawea’s neck area. No doubling. Pics from iPhone so not great quality…..

    @safari_dude I had that very same thought! So I ordered four sets, with the intention of keeping one (I like to have one per year anyway so that's nothing unusual) and giving three to each of my three kids' families.

    Got the four sets yesterday, 3/10, and the coins are excellent... but only three of the sets are keepers. The fourth one has two sets of quarters, and completely omits the other coins! So I just got off the phone with the US Mint rep and they're sending me a prepaid label to return that for another set (or if none is available, for a refund).

    You may be able to get a return label for the ones you don't think are up to snuff - but the risk is, if they run out then you'll be without.
