The mint is just laughing all the way to the bank

as my new 2008 proof sets came today. I looked at them, played with them and was going to put them in the mint box I purchased for these proof set and guess what? The 2008 box is to wide to fit in the slot. Now who is the brain child who thought that one up. I guess the mint will come out with a new box to fit this 2008 set image

I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    You don't know the half of it. This issue will be 'corrected' and now you will have packaging varieties. The OTB, old thick box, will be replaced by the NSB, the new slim box. Collectors need both for a complete set as I hear the artwork on the cardboard is a little different. One of them is sure to be a low mintage.


    Don't laugh, there were packaging adjustments last year too! I think the "10 of 14 coins" label you see on some 2007 sets was done half way through the year or so.

    I solved that problem. I bought a Dansco album for each type of coin in my proof and mint sets. Just crack them out and voila. image

    I solved that problem too. Sold all my recent proof sets.

    I'm almost there, I'm selling all of my slabbed modern coins proof or not.

    Keeping the non slabbed stuff going back to the roots of collecting by doing the album thing.
