The Mint never issued an official news press release about it on its web site. I did not order the set and have no first hand knowledge, however, I have read the comments from 4 commenters here of which two stated their coins were not damaged and two who stated their coins were damaged. I imagine some people who received the sets have not even opened the shipping box they came in or are reluctant to pry open the sealed blister pack acrylic holder to inspect the coins for damage.

From the posts I saw here earlier, some of the customers are agreeing (mine seem ok, though I did not open my set to be 100% sure), some are not. I printed the Mint statement to put with my set. We will find out how good the Mint thinks they really are next year, when we see if the Mint uses the same holder again or quietly uses a different one. Now I am curious as to whether the previous Director initiated this change, or if this was all on the new Director. I am leaning towards the previous one, but I really do not know.
