Negro League Baseball Silver Proof with Privy Mark 1 1

[Walter Holmes]

I just received this coin from the US Mint and it’s quite disappointing. Not only are there scratches near the baseball on obverse, but what are the long splotches near the pitchers legs. Minor scratch and unusual indentation on reverse. Milk spots or other?

New info, correct spelling

I would complain and try to get a new one!

Definitely not what I expected for $85 plus shipping

I am really sorry that you became another casualty of modern Mint products.  It's very upsetting.

Another reason the mint should slow down on all of the comms they are putting out.. maybe they would have a little quality then

But...but ...they all have a "CAC" approval on them -- so they must be valuable.

I understand from a local historian that when the Negro Leagues played games in the old Griffith Stadium in Washington DC, the toilets were locked. When the American League teams played, the toilets were unlocked.

[Well....it seemed appropriate given the "privy mark" comments.]

Their hair is on fire over on pcgs forum.  One after another with problems. One of the regular folks said they have personally seen almost 100 privy’s and they are not looking good. 
   I got a rather magnificent one but had to clean the coin and capsule with air to remove lint and odd crumbs.   
    They are available right now and have been up all dang day on the mint website.  😉🙀🦫

Maybe Mint packaging machines are working really, really hard and even through their lunch -- hence, the crumbs.

Nah, there were reports that some of the wild velour pelts that came in from the Mint’s private hunt had “foreign matter” in them. I told them they need to steam clean those things before cutting them to size.

Appears the US Mint payed NO attention to the complaints about the 2021 Morgan and Peace Dollars.

Will the US Mint make good on these, and other, poor products?

[Alex in PA.]

I wonder how many poor products will come out this year.

Yep, you send them back you'll get a refund.  Can't send you new coins, they don't have any.
