Be careful when you open them. I got mine last week and it popped out of the plastic casing the first time I opened it. I don't think it was damaged so I am debating whether to return it. I had assumed that the Mint had fixed their packaging problems, but apparently not.

Hello big orange fan, If you return the coins to Tenn., I would be sure to insure it, and get a "return receipt". I returned some ASE 20th Ann. sets on 7 Nov 06 and can't get any info from the mint. I have something from the post office stating they received it, but I have called the customer service at least four times and they have no information on the return. I will have to write to Tenn I guess, so just a word to you about my bad experience (so far). I am sure that eventually I will get my replacement coins, but have a feeling I will receive back something someone else returned as damaged coins. Also like you, some of my ASE sets on arrival, had the capsules opened and the coins loose in the box. Best wishes,

Berry

Hello,

I order Mine about 2 months ago. I ordered both versions. I CAN'T WAIT to see mine. But I will have to wait for XMAS as these were gifts for christmas.

I ordered the uncirculated coin. I also will have the proof version when they ship the Legacy Set.

I just got an email from the mint today saying it (uncirculated version) was shipped today.

Received my uncirculated coin today. Its very nice. I think they skimped on the packaging though. Are the uncirculated coins always packed so cheap? It is just a sleeve over a plastic tray. I'm use to the proofs coming in a nice case.

Tpatna, you are correct that the packing is very cheap, the mint solution is that they sell very nice felt lined holders if you want something nicer. I told the customer service rep thanks, but no thanks. It is always about money.

Monster. Did your gold UNC arrive intact, or did it arrive loose? Mine almost fell out.

The capsule is loose. Lucky, the gold seems to be fine. It is my first gold coin. After I re-cap the capsule, it seems to hold. Anyone else has the same problem?

My ASE 3-coin sets came with the coins in the capsules okay, but the capsules were loose in the display box. All four boxes were like that. I guess they really don't care.
