Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7570879, member: 105098"]i've never had this issue before with a mint or proof set, however packaging malfunctions do occur, like the Native American Coin and currency set from 2019. many of the sets had the dollar bill far out of alignment and stuck in the adhesive that frames around the window. I have to assume there's some percentage of mint and proof sets that would fail a QC exam that make it through and go out, I'd guess it's just bad luck,  or possible rough handling from the shipment carriers. I hear speculation the mint will take a return and send it out again to another customer, I really can't believe it's not checked out if it's acceptable to go out to another customer and the reason for the return checked. I don't know how true that is, but I do know packaging problems occur, and I do think shipment carriers can be quite abusive with small packages and toss them around quite a bit. Below isn't my picture, but mine was very similar to this one in alignment. I'd say likely 80+% of this particular product the dollar was a little bit, or way out of place.[ATTACH=full]1305369[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
