I had ten of these boxes for my silver and regular proof sets for my grand kids. Fortunately I found a way to make them work. The slotted inserts for these boxes are glued in very lightly and can be removed carefully and easily. You can cut the last slot off of the insert and put the insert back and you will find that the 2008 three lens box fits nicely but without any space between it and the 2007. I did not need any glue to put the insert back. I found this to be better than multiple boxes. <br />The DukesterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-27947644285161098602009-04-29T19:15:00.000-07:002009-04-29T19:15:00.000-07:00Just another way for the Mint to gouge the public....Just another way for the Mint to gouge the public.Harry Ersatznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-74539745003601522362009-04-29T15:12:00.000-07:002009-04-29T15:12:00.000-07:00I never voiced this online before but I too have b...I never voiced this online before but I too have been very agitated with the packaging. I understand the need for the three lenses due to the addition of the presidential dollars, but they screwed up when they came out with the three lens cardboard box for 2008 – otherwise we could have housed the entire 1999-2008 State coin years in one box (with the exception of the presidential dollars).<br /><br />Now I have 5 beautiful coin boxes (one for me and one for each of the kids) that say something like “State Quarter Series 1999-2008” on them that will no longer hold the entire series. I bought these second hand but I assume they came from the Mint. Am I wrong about that? If I’m correct then I’ve got a legitimate beef since they should have at least kept the 2008 packaging consistent with the 2007.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
