I personally won't buy a proof set with the coins miss aligned , it normally means that the set has been handled roughly and there is a good chance that the coins suffer minor damage in the process.
Definitely not an error Mate

I'm thinking that if the tolerances of the case don't match the coin correctly then it is possible that over time, with flipping the set to look at them, for the loose coins to rotate slightly each time. Over the course of years these tiny movements could add up to the rotations we are seeing.


That is my understanding of how coins get rotated in proof sets
