My favorite bullion supplier was liquidating their 1.5 oz Canadian 8 dollar coins. When they arrived, they looked beautiful in their plastic holders. No issues, until I took one out. Something wasn't right...
Mysterious spots began forming all over them!
I"m not sure if it's a manufacturing problem, or something I did. I was careful (as always) not to touch the obverse or reverse of the coin with my fingers.
I think I understand better now why they were selling these at such a good rate. But I have to be honest, I stack for the weight, not the appearance.
I purchased five of these and I'm happy to add 7.5oz to the stack. I'd like them to look good, perhaps I could get a better premium selling them if they're not "spotty", but the silver purity is just the same either way.
Whatever the problem with these are, really they shouldn't be sold like this. They are not of good quality.
Has anyone else had this happen to their new proof coins?
