1980-Proof-Set-Error-?-Mint-Installed-Upside-Dime-??https://goccf.com/ebay ebay /a serval monlths ago. 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)'>

Please help there something wrong with your computer. It dont post anything and the photes dont work? This twice I tryed enter stuff .

This an 1980 proof set where dime is upside down and all other coins are correct. Is this an famous error set such as 1990 no s or 1975 no error ?
The dime in set has all mints marks but its upside down.

I bought it in proof set lot on ebay to chop up for susan dollar for book. I dont want destoy it since it may be an error set. I cant find anything in books about proof sets where us mint installed coins upside down. I dont have clue anything about this or ever seen or heard anything about this before . Its an error set where I can send it be graded and certified as error set. I dont have clue if its worth more than just an 1980 prrof set or is it like the 1990 no s proof set error set. Is this rare? or common ?

Any help or info I will apprecite it. thanks dale

Hi chevrolet454ss


Ok lets see what can be done ,,If this info does not help just let me know and I will get an email address to you to send the pics to ,,and I will get them up for you and see if I can figure out what the trouble is .

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.

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
