<p>[QUOTE="Aberlight, post: 175787, member: 6510"]Today I received my W mint marked 1/10 oz and 1/4 oz Platinum Unciculated coins from the mint with identical reverse design as the proofs. Paid $180 for the 1/10 oz and $380 for the 1/4 oz.

[QUOTE="Aberlight, post: 175787, member: 6510"]Today I received my W mint marked 1/10 oz and 1/4 oz Platinum Unciculated coins from the mint with identical reverse design as the proofs. Paid $180 for the 1/10 oz and $380 for the 1/4 oz. Despite the description stating: "encapsulated in plastic, [U]packaged in a protective presentation case[/U], and is accompanied by a custom-designed Certificate of Authenticity." The coins do not come in a "protective presentation case." The coins were delivered in a thin box marked wih the decription, the CoA, encapsulated in plastic, but not a "protective presentation case." Instead they sent the coin in a velvet bag. After calling and talking to customer service I was told that I received the coin as it is meant to be sent out and that the presentation case is only included in the proofs and that I was misreading the description...and sorry for the inconvience! This doesn't seem right. How can they state that these coins include a presentation case and instead include a velvet bag. There isn't anything presentable about a velvet bag.

Any number that I can talk to someone in charge? The only number I have is 800-USA-MINT. I am curious to see how the gold uncirculated coins are being delivered. Really glad I passed on those.
