You Got A Crooked Gold Buffalo?! 😱

I was surprised when I got I didn't know that they didn't have reeded edges I thought that took a lot away from the round! Then on top of that it was completely uniform! I mean these things are literally called stackers because you're supposed to stack them together tell me how you stack something one on top of the other one when the edges of the coins have up to 1/8 of an inch difference in uniformity! well maybe I'm being a little bit hyperbolic but man is it noticeable! So much so that I actually found something this jewelry box that what is somehow perfect to fit this round! Especially because it made it so you couldn't see any of the edges! the top of the round is flush with the circular ellipse of a cone inside of a cylindrical jewelry box making it so you can see nothing but the top of the round😂 I don't know maybe I just had too high of expectations for it considering it was the one thing I really wanted from the second I saw it even before I first started getting into silver stacking and collecting! so yeah kind of a disappointment! I thought I might have gotten fake when I first received it because just looked so incorrect! every time I saw it on video or picture I always just imagined it to have a beautiful reeded Edge that would have accented all those lines coming out from the Lions head!

I'm sorry, but the way that stack looks to me is unacceptable. That's supposed to be one of the ways to determine authenticity other than weight and dimensions. A coin minted at a sovereign mint should be able to be stacked upon itself many times with no visible overhang on the edges or odd looking angle like that. Uniformity is important. I know you didn't take much time to line the edges up, but that weird slant is a no-no. It just looks like someone stamped those on an anvil in their backyard with an 8 pound sledge.

I saw a buffalo on one of the coin sellers screen with the description of a gold foil finish? What's that? Another ? does the quarter oz. Maple leaf 2022 have the security of the one oz ? I didn't see an emblem as on the one oz. Thank you for any help you can give.

The Mint is tone deaf on finning. So, it is good to see more people talk about it. Well done!

[@2is1gold]

Thanks Sal. Too many robots in the production mix I think. Cheers!

I'm sorry, but for the premiums that those coins come with, it's unacceptable. The US Mint simply has poor quality control, and we should expect more from them.

[@2is1gold]

Agreed. On the upside, my local coin shops don't mind at all. Cheers!

@@2is1gold I just got my first RCM Gold Maple Leaf about two weeks ago, and WOW! It's truly remarkable!

[@anotherdedchannel]

The part that gets me is why pay a higher premium for a lower quality product when compared to a Gold Maple or Brit

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

Anyone else have Buffalo's in Mint sheets? That's how they used to come when I first started.

To sell as first strike you go by the date on the monster box and basically all that come out for the first couple months were made in month one. Its basically a marketing gimmick now. What you really want is a coin from very early in the dies you will see a difference in sharpness of the strike. The us mint is not doing quality control checks they should be doing and rejecting coins. First flaw I see unlike perth mint that makes there own blanks / Planchets the us mint buys them from Sunshine Mint in Las Vegas. Why give up any profit and quality control.
