I ordered 3 of these Rwandan Hippos and all 3 arrived mint sealed with spots or rub marks. Sent them back describing the issue and got 3 new ones in exchange. 1 coin was ok but the other 2 had the exact same marks. I understand that it's probably an issue at the mint, but why send people these coins. Full disclosure Apmex did offer refunds on the coins but I would rather keep these coins than have to go back to my post office

Pros

Attractive Design

Collectible (lower mintage)

Easy to Sell

Recognized Brand Cons

Poor Condition Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
