The United States Mint Police Officer conducting the screening will evaluate whether an item may enter into or exit from a facility based upon federal law, Treasury policy, United States Mint Policy, and local operating procedure; and all prohibited and unauthorized items will be subject to confiscation and disposal.

    That is a deal! Sort of like a Silver Proof Set but no nasty Cent or Nickel to deal with. And you get that beautiful Packaging but of course some Collectors might feel inclined to chase down a SAE.

    Where’s Kareem at?

    Did he get caught up in the aforementioned security screening last time? He might have been detained trying to bring his “medicine” in with him. Lord knows you gotta be medicated to get through an entire CCAC meeting 😉

    But seriously, there was a presence telephonically from Saipan, but no Kareem?

    My 2 2017 LEPS delivered. All was as it should be. No bubble wrap but LOTS of paper. After complaining directly to the Mint last year when I received my order for the Gold Mercury Dimes that were handed to me by the postal clerk, wrapped in a plastic bag because it was LEAKING, ( Everything in side was soaked. Who knows what happened) Idon’t let anything slip by. If they do good, I say so. If they don’t, they get it back and a call.
