When I used to collect that type of material, I'd wait until dealers had them in quantity, then sort through what they had and pick the best one. Sure, I paid more, but avoided the type of frustration that you're experiencing. James |

The dollar coins, as you noted, appear to be problematic this year. One has splash marks and the others had dark brown tarnish spots. I don't think there has been one year, since around 2000, that I have not had to return at least one item from an order for exchange. I still have to call and get my shipping refund. |

I've decided this is probably the last year I'm getting the full set (after this year I'm sticking to the Prexibux proof sets). A quick question for those that have the set (or the mint set): is the cent the same bronze alloy used last year or copper- plated zinc? I seem to have read something late last year that stated the Mint had got permission to strike bronze cents again this year. I could have been wrong. Thanks. Joshua Holman Havelock, NC |

According to the card in my 2010 set, the penny's 2.5% copper, balance
zinc. I suppose you could get a scale out & weigh them, in case a leftover bronze planchet from last year got into the mix...
