I received my five sets of the 2005 uncirculated mint sets on Friday June 24, 2005 and when I opened one I was surprised to find that the Philadelphia set contained two Oregon P quarters and no Minnesota P Quarter. The Denver set was as it should be. I hadn't planned on opening the other 4 sets but after discovering this error I decided to check them. Three of the five sets I ordered had this same packaging error. I did a Google search to see if anyone else had found this error and was able to find a similar one on Ebay except their Denver package had two Oregon D quarters and no Minnesota D quarter. Has anyone else found any of these? Ron
I'm going to go with what Sipder said.... They aren't worth anything really...some people might pay a few dollars over list value but I wouldn't bet on it. Speedy
Just becaese they don't carry a premium now, doesn't mean they won't in the future. I'd hold onto them.
Some date mint sets have a lot more errors than others. More than 1% of 1969 mint sets have a Denver quarter in the Philly slot and no P quarter at all. This al- ways makes my heart skip a beat because the P quarters are so difficult to find nice. The Denvers are usually real nice with beautiful surfaces and it's a big let down when you see the mint mark and realize it's just a packaging error. My fav- orite is the 1980 sets with a D quarter where the D dollar should be. This affects only about every 500th set but always causes a chuckle that even the mint couldn't tell the dollar from a quarter. The sets are "loaded" from hoppers and a worker will sometimes just dump the wrong coins in a hopper. These sets might make an interesting collection but I know of no one who is collecting them so they have no premium.
Well one of them with two Oregon D quarters just went for $45.00 on Ebay so I listed one of mine. No big deal if it doesn't sell. Ron
I rcvd 3 sets that were missing the P WV and had an additional Kansas quarter. Rather nice trade I think since the Kansas quarters are much nicer, IMO.
