<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 3654839, member: 105098"]No. Generally speaking it doesn't matter if it's in the OGP set intact or not unless the whole set were errored. just the one coin in the set would be the one that mattered, like a no S proof dime, or a clear S SBA proof. A proof is a proof. There's no confusing it for a circulation strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>The issue with this coin is that it's not a mint error, it falls into "die deterioration" damage. It's not like a double struck or and off center strike, or double die, or a missing mintmark, or struck through, it's more like a minor die chip or chips or machine doubling category. IDT isn't a special thing it happens to some extent with cents and dimes, the thinner coins, pretty regularly before the die pair needs replacing every year and any date or strike type would do for an example if you wanted one. Nobody collects them by year or strike types that I am aware of so IDT on a proof coin as far as I'm aware carries no premium over IDT on a business strike for instance just as nobody collect split plating lincoln zinc cents so there's no premium for a proof coin or business strike that has that issue heavily around the devices either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being in OGP wouldn't make a difference to a buyer or a TPG unless it was mishandled when it was removed from the set. Many of the early proof coins that didn't come in OGP sets besides shipped in the same small box are mixed proof sets pieced together. If that coin were desirable and had a premium it would make no difference to a buyer if they got the whole set or just the one coin. In fact he could take the coin out of this set and send it for grading and buy another proof cent of the same year and replace it in the set without issue as long as it was handled properly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
