US Mint error ??

Anyone know what this is about ?

Dear United States Mint Customer:

Thank you for your recent purchase with the United States Mint. There was, unfortunately, a packaging issue with the 2016 America the Beautiful Quarters Proof Set™. Specifically, the image used for the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park was incorrect. As a result, we will be accepting returns for any sets already received by customers.

The picture in the info booklet showed Cumberland Falls in KY, which is not part of Cumberland Gap park. Not a big deal. One dealer was trying to sell those for more money since it was an "error."

 

I agree it's not a big deal. I just make a mental checkmark next to sellers like this to never do business with them.

 

Thanks for the response. I now know what they are talking about (I think). Although there is no similarity of the box picture to the Kentucky coin, I see no likeness images of the pictures of North Dakota and South Carolina on the coins either.
