I recently received my 2005 mint uncirculated set upon opening it I noticed that not only the California quarter was in backwards, but I also had two Minnesota state quarters and no Oregon quarter. this is only in the "P" set. Being new to coin collecting I havent found any information on this type of thing. I tried to call the mint and ask them if this some times happens and all I got for an answer was no and I should send it back for a different set. any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
This apparently is happening a lot. Your set makes the third I have heard of so far and they have only been out a week.
Does it happen a lot - no. Does it happen - yes. The sets are packaged by a machine and mistakes do happen. Sometimes the mistakes get caught by quality control - sometimes they don't. The choice is yours to keep the set or not. If you return it the mint will send you a new one. Hopefully pakaged correctly.
No it does not. But if you should happen to find a collector of sets, they might be willing to pay a dollar or two more than the going rate.
