lsicalsica Posts: 1,754 ✭✭✭✭

Can the cardboard box that the current mint set is packaged in be replaced? How and how much?

TIA

    People sell mint packaging on eBay, you could look there.

    Probably. Check eBay. Mint sets are a little trickier because the packaging usually doesn't get resold, but you'll find packaging for almost all Mint issues for sale.

    It's unfortunately for a newly received 2026 set that its recipient opened with a bit of excess enthusiasm so nothing on eBay yet. I did just email usmint-support@usmcatalog.com, hopefully that will help.

    You can always return for damaged packaging (who knows whose fault it was ;) ) but I suspect they don't have many/any replacements.

    if you're talking about the unc set and not the proofs, i'd say you don't need that cardboard box unless you plan on reselling it. but even if you got the cardboard box you'd have to glue it shut. not good. it'd still be an opened set just glue shut
