I was going cut this proof set to install the the dollar in book. br / br / I found this 1980 proof set and the us mint installed the dime in there upside down as you see in photes. I never seen such an thing and I afraid to do anything with it. Reason I read certain error sets such as the 1975 no s dime is worth 35000, and the 1990 no s penny is worth 4500 to 8500, the 1970 no s dime error set is worth 800. br / br / I know this strange set 1980 proof set and books don t say anything such as pcgs website. I never even heard of an upside down coin proof set. All other coins are in set are like they should be but dime is upside down . I heard those proofs sets are tamper proof but I don t know. I bought used in a target _blank id keywords href https://goccf.com/ebay ebay /a proof set lot in 2007 and don t know anything else about it. br / br / Are there companies who buy these error sets and can it sent to company such as pcgs to certified as an error proof set. I don t know where or have any idea on where to start since it not listed in any books. All I say the us mint installed the dime upside down in this set. I don t have clue if its worth more than just another 1980 proof set. How rare is it I don t have clue? br / br / Any help on this proof set I will gladly appreciate it." border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'> Report this Post to the Staff

First your file size needs to be less than 100KB,, second your file title cannot contain any characters only numbers and letters . these are the two most frequent problems in posting photo's via the forum software . give it another try incorporating these necessities.

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 06/10/2007 6:45 pm you have to have 50 posts before you will have that option. as for your set I would say that it is not something that happens a lot but it happens. it may bring the value up a few cents but not enough to worry about. take it and try to twist it holding it by two opposite corners and see if it pops open. if it opens then someone did it trying to make a buck. the early dates sometimes open with no problem at all and close just like nothing was wrong. I hope this answers your question on your proof set Gary too Report this Post to the Staff
