<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2194659, member: 24633&quot;]I understand your point, but whether it is a proof coin or an uncirculated coin makes little difference. Yes, this is a proof coin, but the strikethrough occurred on the reverse, and it is more likely that the employee assembling the proof set didn&#039;t bother to inspect the reverse before inserting the coin &quot;face up&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>My 2001-D Kennedy missing the clad layer is one of only two known to exist, and both of them came from the $100 Mixed P&amp;D bags that were released by the Mint in 2004. If the reverse had been facing up on the assembly line, it is more likely that this coin would have been spotted by a Mint employee. I submitted mine for grading and attribution while the other was sold raw on eBay for $555.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]426816[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, the 2005-S Silver Proof KS SQ should never have gotten by Mint inspection because the die dent is on the reverse which would be facing up in the Mint case. There are about 12 of these known to exist (I had two) and when I first submitted mine at the 2006 FUN Show, it was originally attributed as a PF70 UCAM Mint Error. In 2012, it was added to the CPG as a variety, FS-901, which made it eligible for the NGC Census. It became the Top Pop with no others, and two months later, I sold it to a west coast collector for $1,000.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]426817[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]426818[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
