[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3666596, member: 84179"]It's a common misperception among novice collectors that mispackaged mint products are desirable errors. Mint packaging errors do not add any value and many cases, actually reduce the value of the set. Many people buy sets to get 1 of each coin and if, for example there are 2 nickels, but no dime, then the set is worth less to them. Another type of “packaging error” that reduces the value is when the edge of a coin gets caught in the crimping/sealing mechanism, leaving damage. Your set seems to have a small stone or other type of junk inside. That object can cause a hole in the package resulting in uneven and/or unsightly toning or worse, it could move and cause damage to the coin.
