Received an American Eagle 1/10th ounce gold proof today. It seems nice, but is in a brown/tan box instead of the blue one shown on the mint web page. . . it this an issue?

US Mint. I called & the representative did not know of a color change, but logged my question into her computer & told me to check back next week. Was hoping someone here had received one & could confirm the orange-ish color is some new Mint color scheme.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay about for it?

I'd only pay around melt value because they always jumping up and down.

Last 1/10 oz I got was in '99 and those came in blue and black cases. Maybe it's new.

Google searches have shown me that they come in blue cases.
That's weird!

I just received mine today and, like Southern92's, the packaging is brown/orange. Yuk! I like the blue packaging much better. What gives?
