Sometime in early January I submitted my subscription with the mint for this years products as I have done for several years. Today I received not one, but two proof sets. Each in a seperate shipping box and both having the invoice. Checking my subscription, it in fact lists one set. I then checked my bank records which shows only one $40.25 transaction on the 4th. Brought up to do the right thing in life no matter the consequence I intend on notifying the mint to settle accounts. Even as the mint seems to be getting absurd with their pricing lately. On that point, the silver proof is not on my list this year as $150 is far above reasonable while that of the proof is on the fence, so to speak.
I'm curious as to what the group would do in this situation. ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon

I agree with your plan to contact the Mint and make things right!  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Did just that first thing this morning asking the polite representative to bill me for the second set. I have long held that what we do in life returns two-fold, the right as well as the wrong. Outside of the community I believe that the response would have gone the opposite to a greater degree. The world needs more like us. Greatly appreciated!

Good to hear. I am always weary of the 285th rule of acquisition, but the risk is warranted.  |

On a related note, years ago my brother bought a new Gibson guitar, it arrived with a scratch in the finish. He sent it back to Gibson for repair under warranty. Later Gibson sent him two guitars, the one he bought and another same model. He contacted Gibson, told them to send shipping money or prepaid ship label and he'd send the other guitar back. The Gibson rep couldn't find any record of the second guitar shipped so refused. My brother kept both guitars.
