The obverse of the coins are weakly struck.
One would have thought that they could have done better. I have gotten State Quarters out of the change machine at the laundromat that look better. Come on! Do better!

As usual, I open one box, just to see what they look like in person. If the ones I received are anything like what the mint has sunk to, then I predict that there will not be any, graded higher than an MS-63. The strikes on the obverse are so weak as to resemble the early 60’s. Washington’s hair lines are so week, they look as if the press was set to 1200 pounds instead of 75 tons.
Bad, U.S. Mint! Bad!
