Although the following narrative is not exactly the same type of situation as above it is, however, exemplative of how even a newly discovered 'packaging error' can command big bucks.
The following is an example of someone finding a 2012 silver proof Kennedy half in a birth set when it should have been a clad half.
On ebay they sold for $ 132.50 each:

About half way down on the following page I attempted to be less abrasive by delicately commenting on the wisdom of broadcasting this find for authentication purposes considering the numerous folks (CCF members and others) reading the post:

In retrospect my personal opinion is that the owner/seller of these packaging error birth mint set coins could have acquired many, many more of these incorrectly-packaged coins had the ‘cat not been let out of the hat' by broadcasting the find to the world.
I am positive the mint caught on and immediately corrected the packaging error once multiple individuals began to order this set concurrently.
fyi,
