<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 133011, member: 4626&quot;]Have seen on eBay once a silver proof set where they left out the Florida quarter; instead it had two Texas quarters, and one of these was facing the wrong way!</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure if any interest will develop in packaging errors, but it does happen on ocassion apparently.&nbsp; Mint sets, there&#039;s no effort to orient the coins in a certain way, but separate hoppers are used for each of the coins in the set.&nbsp; It&#039;s uncommon, but not unheard of, for the wrong coin to end up in a hopper and thus have an error in packaging.&nbsp; It seems to happen less often with proof sets, because there&#039;s actually a recognition tool to make sure they&#039;re oriented a certain way, but again, the wrong coins can end up in the hoppers and orientation errors do ocassionally happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
