How many times have you sent a coin back to the mint to get the one you wanted?

  Twice - mostly defective packaging, cracks, and some dust inside the plastic holder.
  
  I also noticed small holes in the mylar on Uncirculated Mint Sets. Still they will reimburse or replace it for free, and if you write a note, they will refund the $4.95 shipping too.
  
  Its worth paying attention to. But it doesnt say much for the people who are paid to look at the coins.

  once...had to do it a few different times though.
  replacements were always acceptable but I often split the orders (in case I get lucky and one batch is superb or has any errors)

  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

  One time for a "millenium" set. It looked like I recieved someone elses reject so I marked it up with a fat black sharpie and pointed out every defect so no one else would get it ...........

  On one occasion a few years back with my only experience with a direct order? They handled it well and sent another that was problem free.

  Twice........Packaging on the first time and a scratch on the second time...both were easy to do.

  Once, when I received an ASE proof with a distinct scratch on the obverse.... was replaced quickly with no hassle. Cheers, RickO

  Several times especially with the 2006 Silver Proof and regular proof sets.
  
  Also went through a phase with 1st Day Coin covers on state quarters!
  
  

  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.

  Once.
  
  2004 Silver Proof Set with a nasty fingerprint on the 50 cent piece.

  Many happy BST transactions
