Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 02/15/2012 1:26 pm A friend of mine was looking for some information on a 1971 Proof set that might have an error. Are these sets supposed to have a D nickel? If they are not, how would this Nickel get into the set? The Blue set has the following coins: P Cent / S Cent P Dime P Quarter P Half D Nickel Report this Post to the Staff

My mistake, I do not usually deal with these types of coins. Thanks for the clarification. Quote: Packaging error. It happens. Would there be any added value? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/15/2012 4:25 pm Some people might put a premium on a packaging error but IMO, it devalues the Mint Set a bit. I say that because someone will typically purchase a Mint Set to obtain all business strike coins issued that year, your set has two nickels from Denver but none from Philly so it is essentially missing a coin.
