You mean beside the photoshoping of the date on the cent ? the mint mark above the date of the cent .the date appears to be wrong on the Half Dollar,Mint mark location on the quarter dollar ,The Motto on the Ike dollar,scrambled motto on the half dollar .

That is all I see .

I see what looks like a backwards J instead of an L in Liberty on the Ike dollar. The date of 1776-1971 is wrong on the Ike dollar. I think the position of the Dime and Quarter are switched. Its hard to make out, but the date on the quarter looks like 1935-1976. The picture is blurry, but it doesn't look like Roosevelt is on the dime.

The packsge itself should have "United States Proof Set" instead of "United States Mint Set"

The Cent does not appear to be a Proof

Here is a hint there are 8 errors on the whole set.The quarters date is fine,the photo looks like a j on the dollar and I did not put that there.The dime does not have another head on it.
