2015 COIN & CURRENCY $1 PROBLEM SMALL PER MINT

HATTRICK

"Prior to identifying the manual packaging error with the dollar notes in the 2015 American $1 Coin and Currency Set, approximately 52,016 units were shipped to customers," Stump said Sept. 22. "There were a total of 640 units returned for various reasons, such as exchange, unacceptable quality or customer decision, which is slightly more than 1 percent. Our usual rate of return for all Mint products is slightly more than 1 percent.

There you go.

Of the 10 sets I receive, none had this packaging defect.

I expect that a lot of the folks that received sets with notes not properly placed in the window were hoping for perfection.

I also expect a lot of disappointment in about 10 years when nobody really wants these sets. Even at original issue price.

But that's just me............

out of 52,000 only 640 cancelled or returned for all reasons. While the number of complaints you see on the forums
might seem like a lot. What is on the forums is only a small drop in a very large bucket.

It will be a nice surprise for all the unopened set buyers in a few years.

Always a possibility and a risk for keeping sealed boxes. You could open a box of two 1oz gold coins
and find two bronze medals.

Any stories of this exist out in the world?

HATTRICK

I have read several stories about people being shipped the wrong items from the mint. They were discovered upon receipt.
I have not heard of any held boxes later opened with the wrong item. This is a common shipping error, however
as the mint deals with precious metals there should be tighter controls to prevent this but it can happen.

I hope he complained that he got the wrong item and sent them back.

Of the 10 sets I received, 9 of them had the problem. 6 of them were really bad, the other 3 were better, but bad enough to send back. None of the bills would move; they were all sealed in by whatever adhesive they use.
