I have never heard of "mortar sets". Is there any value to these? It just doesn't appear to me to worth hunting. I may be wrong , but I think I have seen this happen on American coins too.
You can see 2 example at this link http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-errors-varieties.php at #9. For the value, I saw sell on Ebay between $ 5 and $ 15.
