Got my replacement box yesterday. What a relief, I was worried they forgot me.

 

Here's an update.

Sounds like Coinworld needs to see this link:

It's not a photo of Bessie Coleman in less distinctive garb, but a photo of a different woman named Bessie Coleman altogether.

 

I'm not seeing on that link where it states one way or another as to whether this is the same Bessie Coleman as the aviator.

 

@Burton Strauss III originally posted that link earlier in this thread, he can provide more context.

 

It's not me! I saw something either here or on Reddit. It's happening already where they are selling pieces of old coin bags.

 

There is a comment at this link that this wasn't the only error on the packaging. If you look at the Lincoln Penny, the date is 2022 not 2023. Maybe the mint needs to send out a third box? Regards.
