Looks like it was just a mistake when designing the packaging. Ah well... Well, at least the acknowledge it. That is the least I would expect. |

Thanks for the follow-up on that. Pretty much what we expected.

Received my official "we goofed" email from the U.S. Mint today. Quote:
Regarding Your Recent Order
Dear Valued Customer,
Unfortunately there was a design description error printed inside the folder of the 2015 Coin and Chronicles Set - Lyndon B. Johnson. The text in the folder describing the silver medal reverse reads "The reverse includes the date of his inauguration: January 20, 1965." The text should have read "The reverse includes the date the president first took office: November 22, 1963." The Mint apologizes to its customers for this error. This is the exact text that Atlas642 reported earlier. |

So, when is the Mint going to fess up about the zipped-lip die scratch on some of the coins?  |

I was hoping that they fixed this part way through the printing run and that some of the folders were wrong and some were correct so that there was a variation and it might spark the series again like with Truman. Just a little pick up so it didn't end flat.

Just a little pick up so it didn't end flat. Yup. There would be those who would want both versions, creating even more demand. |

Modern Coin Mart just unleashed their "hoard" and priced the OGP set at $79/$76.67.

I'm surprised at the "low" asking price by MCM as they offered effectively $85.42 per set if one were to sell the sets to them. I guess those that were not graded 69 must be really bad then...

They ask around $180 for the graded 69 set (which cost them around $30 to grade both, for bulk discount).
So omxfl is probably right.
