They don't do that on the regular porrof or mint coin sets where the brown box is just a wee bit bigger than the packaging inside. And if they thought this was somehow going to protect the coins, well that was a giant FAIL as my 2011-S was floating around inside the blue box outside its clear plastic holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, there was nothing on this box that indicated to me it was from the mint and it was so big, and I had three other packages delivered with it, so it just never even occurred to me that this box had my coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well, my bad.
