What do you think of the US Mint putting Mint Sets into two envelopes instead of one in the recent y

How do you feel about the Mint seperating Mint Sets into two seperate envelopes in the recent years instead of putting both cellos into one envelope like they did in the past?

Personally, I hate it. (Purely for organizational reasons, I horde and have hundreds of mint sets that I try to keep somewhat 'together')

    I don't particularly care.

    It will be interesting to see if they don't start trading separately in the future
    and wind up with different attrition rates. I' have seen a few offered separately
    already.

    It can make it difficult to keep things organized, at one time in 1999, I accidently separated an unc set because I wasn't expecting them in two sets.

    I gave the phillies to my daughter and the denvers to my son. I didn't realize until later what I had done. I imagine it would have been better to make an envelope big enough for the four coin packs to fit into.

    All in all, it doesn't really matter too much to me. I just stick them in a drawer and forget about them.

    They do take up a lot of space and can catch you if your not paying attention. I wonder if they ever considered putting them in a box? image Might cause some coinfusion with the proofs though.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
