I read this article, and thought you all might find it interesting. The picture of the Cumberland Gap ATB Quarter is wrong. Do you think it will carry a premium like those "No S" proof sets? Thanks.

I don't know- if a lot of people throw it away, and they pulled it after just a couple weeks on the market, it could be worth some sort of premium in the future.
Rest in Peace

Unless there is something different with the coin or coins there probably won't be too many people interested in packaging differences.

I've seen several stories on this and they never tell you what the picture they used was of. Is it of some other location, or just not the image of the park that they intended to use?

The picture on the (erroneous) package is of the State Park which is the falls. They were supposed to use a picture of the national park (Cumberland Gap is "the first door to the west")
