The OP has been updated. Once the group buy is done, I will unreserve some of my slots.
All reservations numbers with a strikethrough are coins that have been ordered and paid for. I will update all the groupbuy's coins once I have received payment for it.
A few small parcels have been shipped out. I will PM your tracking shortly. Please note that any orders placed directly through me from now will ship next week (18th July). All subsequent orders will be shipped shortly on some working day.
Thank you!

15 and 18 have been paid for already. I'm awaiting for shipping. Just so you know.

Excellent light and 10x is minimum when grading coins 
Natural light vs white light vs tinted light all produce different variations of issues with coins, at least in my own experience.
As Miffman eluded to you can see a coin in natural light and it looks good even with a magnifying glass but you change the lighting and the issues become more obvious/apparent.
Definitely a good skill to have and be aware of when dealing with gradeable coins.

After finding the defect earlier, I was worried I may have missed some more. Unfortunately, I did. 
I will contact the respective buyers/reservers shortly to find some alternative. In the mean time, I have reserved the remaining non-defect coins until all coin defect issues are ironed out. Here is a list of the coins I have found with out noteworthy defects:
32 - scratches and 2 milkspots
53 - small scratch patch
54 - general scratching
61 - scratch and two small tarnish circles
62 - a spot on the raised quarter
75 - big fingerprint
86 - normal and hairline scratch patch
Again, I apologize for this. I am trying to avoid any unhappy customers.

One of the things I had to employ in my recent run of coins was take a period of time to closely inspect the coins once they arrived.
I got a mountable magnifying glass with an adjustable stand and used it with appropriate lighting to see blemishes, scratches, milk spots, missing gold plating. Of course no coin is perfect. But I did find some that needed to be "dealt" with.
It's a very tedious task. Very good of you to do this with your batch of coins.
Thanks, smoothie
I am realizing very quickly that the improper lighting can very easily trick an untrained eye. Even though it's unlikely that I'll make more coins, learning how to inspect coins properly is valuable skill on its own. After finding the defect earlier, I was worried I may have missed some more.

How big a fingerprint we talkin' here on #75??
That was going to be my funded one
It's fairly big.
not sure why I missed it first time round! ...And also not sure why an employee from the mint would leave a fingerprint in the first place.

I have found that there is scratching on the bitcoin logo on coin 16. It is no longer reserved.
In the unlikely event that this happens, I will let the buyer/reserver know and work out a mutual solution.
