Girl Scout Commemoratives

Here's some of the text from the mint's email:

We have identified a potentially small number of coins that may have been assembled with an incorrect Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and/or product sleeve. Please take a moment to review your 2013 Girl Scout product.

Anyone know what we're looking for?

Yeah, I got that one too. I was hoping for a major error in minting but to find out it's just a COA misprint? Not sure what it is though. I will say that I received two COA's with the proof coin. First time that has ever happened. I'll check 'em tomorrow as I'm away from my desk at the moment and the dear wife is lovingly encumbered in 'dreamland'. Don't, in any way, want to disturb that.........

 

Two girls in scouts...so one for each...here are some easy pics...no fancy editing...

 

Do the coins look better in hand than the images? As I've said before, the price puts me off on these, but the images I'm seeing aren't helping the coins persuade me.

Green - I've received a few of my Proof Sets with two COA's in the past, 2007 I received the standard COA and the Pres. Dollar COA. My second 2007 set just had the standard COA no Pres. one.

 

Just a first time for me Rock........

 

Not a fan of the Girl Scout design. Have them for the kids. Treat it like a girl scout cookie....I love them (cookies and coins), they may not be the best, they are expensive for what they are, but the extra $$ help a great group continue its efforts, and by purchasing them, I made a little girl smile. Maybe use it to provide a Girl Scout education session on numismatics?

 

ok can someone tell me about the error now? i am excited.

 

ok can someone tell me about the error now? i am excited. maybe someone can reproduce the contents of the email?

 

It's something to do with the Certificate of Authenticity or possibly an incorrect mint sleeve Doc. Probably a typo . I checked mine and everything is in order.
