Sad its not a die crack but happy to get the facts - back in the safe it goes.

IMO you should be happier that it is struck through a thread rather than just a die crack, that makes it a legitimate error and not a common sign of die wear and tear.

Two years ago I would not have thought that, but now I know better.

Nice find!

my thinking was - never opened, worth more
Yeah, but where is the fun in that? Not knowing would drive me nuts!

Keep opening those sealed bags, rolls, and envelopes, people!

I have a different outlook, I collect proof/mint sets among other things and would NOT break this set open, just because it is in a sealed you S Mint cello, and it therefore is an obvious authentic Mint error, no question.

I would also be glad, as mentioned, it is a struck through thread error and not a die crack, this IMO, is harder to come by, great find, good luck.....Mike

I was under the impression that it was the envelope that was sealed; that is what he opened up to look at the set inside.
