[QUOTE="cladking, post: 58992, member: 68"]Some date mint sets have a lot more errors than others. More than 1% of 1969 mint sets have a Denver quarter in the Philly slot and no P quarter at all. This al- ways makes my heart skip a beat because the P quarters are so difficult to find nice. The Denvers are usually real nice with beautiful surfaces and it's a big let down when you see the mint mark and realize it's just a packaging error. My fav- orite is the 1980 sets with a D quarter where the D dollar should be. This affects only about every 500th set but always causes a chuckle that even the mint couldn't tell the dollar from a quarter. The sets are "loaded" from hoppers and a worker will sometimes just dump the wrong coins in a hopper. These sets might make an interesting collection but I know of no one who is collecting them so they have no premium.[/QUOTE]
