There are lots from each denomination for the year but alas, there were none in these sets. But I did find this Struck Through Grease error. the recess is fairly deep. I don't find many errors on proof coins so this was a nice surprise. Hope you enjoy! (My apologies for the full coin images. My new phone is very inconsistent.)
