My set arrived today as well, but to my surprise it was packaged in a thin plastic bag with no wrapping or protection whatsoever. Unsurprisingly, the cardboard box that encloses the P&D cards was dented. In the 13 years that I've been buying from the Mint, they have always packaged my order in a cardboard box. I rate the new fulfillment center  |

 , College Barbers is Correct, I Too received My Uncirculated Mint Set, Second package received in a " white soft bubble wrap envelope ".  Dented and Heavily Bruised, Some collector's Collect All Original Packaging, This Is Not Acceptable !!!!..  In My Many, Many Years involved with the U S Mints, The Quality of The Quality Control, IMO, Needs Quality Control..... Many Poor Packaging decisions, All The While, Higher Prices, Along with a Poor Quality Over-Sight.  |

I received mine in the same bag. The box was intact, the holders are straight, and the coins are untouched. No sweat, they are headed for the appropriate Dansco albums when I have time.  |

I received my two in a standard mint shipping box. I assume because it was a shipment/subscription of two?

I received my two sets a couple of days ago. It is interesting to note that for the first time (as far as I know), the brown boxes featured colored ink for a Stars & Stripes design.
The coins are gorgeous, proof-like. I only opened one; the other is for my Mint set collection, and I'll leave it sealed for now.

I received a survey email from the Mint... "The U.S. Mint would like to hear about your recent purchase experience!"I made sure to inform them how I was dissatisfied with the quasi-padded envelope used this time and stated my preference for boxes.  |

I'm interested in the gold flowing hair commemorative that's due out in fall of 2024. I keep checking almost daily for a firm date. Today, Sep 26th, when I tried to login to check, I got put in a queue like you do when there's a popular new release, but there is none to my knowledge, and I wasn't ordering anything. By the way, the Gold Flowing Hair is now showing as releasing on the 14th of November. No other details.

I got right on the site, no issues. Maybe they were live testing the waiting room?
