<p>[QUOTE=&quot;roy032564, post: 129829, member: 5542&quot;]I recently purchased a 1957 unopened proof set (at least it looked legit) and when i opened it i found a second 1957 proof nickel in place of the quarter.&nbsp; I&#039;m just an amatuer collector but not a complete dim wit. The packaging looked legit. I figured for the cost of an open set i could buy an unopen an maybe get lucky.&nbsp; Now i feel just down right peeved that it doesn&#039;t have a quarter in the set.&nbsp; It seem to be an awful lot of work to go an fake the cellophane packaging to include two nickels instead of just replacing it with average 57 proof quarter and then re-seal it.&nbsp; Either I got a proof set from a mean and twisted con artist or the worker at the mint that day was taping the booze a little to hard! Is there anyway to validate the cellophane wraping and does this error actually occur or am i just the unlucky sap of a good practical joke?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for info you guys/gals can shed.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t been able to find anything on net about this subject so it makes me wonder that since there is no way to verify coins in the wrap, then it just a novelty.</p><p><br /></p><p>...Roy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
