2023 Clad Proof Set Packaging Error

The 2019 Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Proof Half Dollar Set had a printing error. You had to request a replacement OGP from the Mint.

Last year I received an unsolicited replacement COA for my 2023 Liberty Silver Medal. The original referred to it as a coin.

"Packaging error" would be an apt description. The coins are fine and error-free, it's just the packaging that's wrong.

From non-US coins, the Austrlaian 1982 Commonwealth Games $10 coins are notorious for error descriptions in the packaging. The coins depict 12 sports played at the Commonwealth Games, but some of the insert cards describe just nine sports, and two of those sports are incorrectly described. The Royal Australian Mint was suffering from prolonged industrial action at the time, and had to outsource production of these cards so the coins could be ready in time for sale during the Games.

any pictures of these errors?

Here's my new and old boxes (new on top).

yeah, thanks for the images. I wonder why they changed the image.

Oohhh, I see. Huge Error..
Now I may have to request new boxes just to have them. For the full Mint set and the Quarters set for both Clad AND Silver...

to the Community, Inahaz!

Thanks for the welcome jbuck.

Dearborn - I sent an email to the mint customer service explaining the penny issue and just received a response. It doesn't appear they are planning to do anything about it.

Subject: Updated packaging for 2023 Silver and Clad Proof sets

Thank you for the updated proof boxes reflecting the change in pictures on the reverse. I noted though the penny on both the original packaging and the updated packaging shows a 2022 penny and not what is in the set (2023).
