Samasc New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 2:59 pm Hi! New here. I bought my son (he's 13 and a budding collector) the US Mint American Innovation $1 Coin proof set for this year. And there is an extra coin floating around inside the plastic casing. My son is asking me questions I can't answer. Lol Is this a rare occurrence? And does this add value to the set? Any opinions are appreciated! Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2219 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 3:08 pm Welcome to CCF! The US Mint uses robots to package coins, mistakes are made. I wonder if someone else got a set with this coin missing from theirs. This is an interesting fun packing error. You could send it back for refund, but I'd definately keep it. In my opinion not much extra value since these are not precious metal coins, no silver, gold. If you read the posts here you'll see the US Mint quality control is sometimes lacking. Some of us got 2021 Morgan and Peace silver dollars with dents, scratches. Edited by livingwater 11/19/2021 3:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 4:10 pm I think those cases can be opened. I'd get the errant coin out of there to prevent damage to the case and remaining coins. They are protected by a lip inside the case, but the errant coin has been damaged from sliding around inside. You can keep the extra or spend it (that's what I'd do - may make an interesting tip...) "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
Samasc New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/19/2021 4:45 pm Ahh so it's more a novelty than it is a "rarity". He still thinks it's really cool to have. Lol He doesn't want to open it so I'll just buy him another set for his collection. Thank you for the responses and for being so nice! Sarah Report this Post to the Staff

It would be easy to open, remove the extra coin, and close again without anyone knowing it had happened.
