Joe # 2 The mint got there butt kicked when they delivered the 2011 ASE set in that expensive funky packaging.The current packaging works for me.I don’t display but the slim box stores much better.I too don’t want to see them sent in a manilla envelope.

Senior, I would call it common sense. The gold proof buffaloes, For example, Come in beautiful packaging, Beautiful solid wood box, And these Kennedy’s come in “tissue paper”… To me, Just plain common sense.. The coin(s) should look “appetizing”, Especially the higher priced ones…..

The ASE 25Th anniversary packaging was a miserable failure but for me the Silver Kennedy set was okay.There is no perfection in most anything because who has the perception of perfection.

I have suggested long ago that the mint offer two packaging options: with the glorified packaging and without the packaging, the latter at a discount from the former.
The coin that I’ve seen the most packaging for one single coin is the platinum eagle. Maybe now that the preamble series is over the mint will go back to a simple box for the coin, like with the silver eagle.

To me, The box is very important when showcasing beautiful coins that you paid good money for. If you’re strictly a bullion collector, No big deal then.
Happy gobble gobble to all here…

Tom,No one here is a collector of boxes,but for some the box is a means to display and for the mint it is a means for delivery.Have a happy Thanksgiving

I’m a coin collector not a box collector. They could put them in a plane brown envelop, the way proof set used to come, and I would be happy. Much of the packaging is from China anyway!

The packaging to me is far better than anything so far.The 2011 ASE set was a disaster.No matter how they package the goods buyers will complain.Happy Thanksgiving To All.

Joe is right…. mint packaging is a white elephant…. coins could have been placed in a box half the size…. I think they made the capsules fit so tightly from past sets where coins fell out of holes during shipping…. a simple fix would be to place capsules in separate bubble wrap and let buyer place them after opening…
