welder Pillar of the Community United States 1037 Posts	Posted 04/21/2015 5:11 pm I was looking through my mint set collection and found a wonderful Mint mistake. It is with my 2005 un-circulated Mint set from Denver. The Mint mistakenly placed a second Oregon State Quarter in lieu of the California State Quarter . I have had this set for years and never noticed this error prior to last week. I feel like I won the Lotto! God only knows what other treasures are lurking in my collection, I just have to take the time to find them. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff

Whytlash Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 04/21/2015 9:27 pm SilverStacker, I believe he's talking about a mint set, not a proof set. Mint sets come in mylar envelopes which are not resealable once opened. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189267 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 09:54 am Yes, a mint set would have to be cut open. Not sure what value this packaging error has, but this is certainly better than if it had been a proof set.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 11:12 am Mispackaged mint sets are interesting but usually command very little premium. They are a packaging error, not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
