Rummy13 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I Just received my 2020 proof set from the Mint. Another beautiful job by the people working there. All though the always seem to fall a little short on their thanking things out. This time they included the 2020 W proof Nickle, in a sealed plastic bag. no way for a collector to put it in any kind of protective holder and keep the original mint packing. When they did the cent last year they put it in cellophane, it is almost like they do not want us to keep them ( the W coins) in pristine condition. I have proof sets and mint sets for the past 60 years and can tell that little scratched and thing appear when the coins are stored in bags or cellophane no matter how careful you are.

B.C Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I believe they are calling it a complimentary coin There for we can't complain If they passed out gold bars for free someone would complain Check out the host they protect such coin but I'm guessing alot will send them in for just such reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy13 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 @B.C yes they call it complimentary but you have to buy the proof set to get them. I was just thinking if the bag was like a zip lock we could keep the coin safer. As for the gold bars they are to heavy and shine a bit too much. Just so you know that is one of my favorite sayings about people complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
