<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dfwrocket, post: 1717321, member: 44831&quot;]Yes as I have stated both people gave good advise. yet even with all these checks known Proof sets a higher form left packaged with no mint marks in 1970 and again in 1971. Seems by 71 they would have been on top of this issue and carefully looking for proof errors. Yet, almost as many were released in 1971 as 1970. I am trying to see if the process is different to give validity to one way or the other else it is a 1971 11 coin mint set with one coin of unknown origin at best.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not pursuing this for profiteering just how would these be graded.</p><p>Many people may have these and thought why mint sets are cheap. So not worth the trouble.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I simply want facts to support either way. Packing error could be the answer. </p><p>Are any business strike records kept of why mistake coins are destroyed? </p><p>If so were any destroyed because of MM errors or could this be a mispackaged proof known to exist in 1970 and in 1971; two years in a row! In your example 1922 they fixed this in less than one year. Yet with Proof coins you would hope a higher standard existed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am sure more of these exist are there any environmental differences created on the West coast or the East coast that could prove anything? </p><p><br /></p><p>Were both metals exactly the same or come from differing sources for business strikes in 1971?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just hunting down facts the 2 S coins in 1969 proves one theory was sound 2 years earlier do any exist from 1971 forward?</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, The proof sets were missed. Why would we not expect the same mistake with most coins destroyed in the Business class strikes. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe almost anything could be the answer consider the times. The early 1970&#039;s morays et al... Uh the summer of Love 1967. People could have over looked many mistakes on the West coast based on flashbacks alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I respect all explanations so far just have no facts to base a truly unbiased decision on this set as I only posted this yesterday. I hope more people join in with what they know. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your reasoning has some validity. Thank you!</p><p>Yet, if an MM run ever happened and only a few got through as they were destroyed. I would like to know.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am hoping for as many points as I can get from the people who know coins best other collectors, experts on grading, as well as all the if&#039;s exhausted. There have been one of a kind coins in the recent past. Why not in 1971?</p><p><br /></p><p>Truly, I wish to thank everyone. I am learning a lot for a youngster of 55; Smile and postulate what would you think if you ran across this set? I purchased these 5 because deposits on coke bottles wet from 3 cents to a nickel. I kind of relish the thought of my way to make money at age 13, might still bring me an interesting twist of fate. After all that was the year someone told me they would be selling bottled water in a few years. I laughed at that one, yet, should have been investing in sources. Ha!</p><p><br /></p><p>Kindness always,</p><p>dfwrocket[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
