Blueberry Pirate New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 6:42 pm Hello, Picked up a 2017 silver quarter proof set in the original plastic case and noticed something a bit odd Instead of a silver proof Effigy Mounds quarter, there is a second Frederick Douglass. Additionally, this out of place Frederick Douglass proof is copper nickel clad, not silver Presumably they switched the machines over from CN to silver and this guy was stuck in the hopper? Other thoughts? The plastic packaging appears intact so I don't believe this was modified after the mint Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 9:28 pm Don't know much about these sets. If all are to be silver and it is a packaging error, I'd think that would make it unique. If intentionally altered I'd ask for a replacement or discount to make up for the missing silver content. Thanks, Doug. Adding: from what I can see, it seems to be a proof strike. Edited by Halo1st 02/23/2019 9:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
