<p>[QUOTE="dhegler, post: 352022, member: 13326"]Is this error common or discovered? I JUST bought a 2006 proof set and silver proof set for my 18-month old so he will always have a proof set, and a silver proof set for special occasion years (like his birth). I have went over each of these coins and I am 99% sure I have a Sacagawea 2006-S <doubled die> proof as part of the silver proof set I purchased. Both these sets came off EBAY since the Mint was sold out of course.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, I see separation in the lettering IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, and (maybe!) the date. It is more pronounced on the left side of the obverse and nothing on teh reverse - looks normal. It has the "weak" strike (or whatever you would call it) to the east of the main strike.</p><p> </p><p>I have looked at this 10 times tonight and couldn't believe it. I was thinking "wouldn't it be cool to find an error on a proof!", then I realized if it came from EBay, certainly the dealer would have checked.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, if this is what it is, is there any decent value to it? Is there intrinsic value to the set since it contained the proof error? All teh other coins appear 100% normal in both sets.</p><p> </p><p>I tried to take pictures tonight, but nothing is coming out with my macro feature on my digital camera. Wish I could for you!

[QUOTE="dhegler, post: 352022, member: 13326"]Is this error common or discovered? I JUST bought a 2006 proof set and silver proof set for my 18-month old so he will always have a proof set, and a silver proof set for special occasion years (like his birth). I have went over each of these coins and I am 99% sure I have a Sacagawea 2006-S <doubled die> proof as part of the silver proof set I purchased. Both these sets came off EBAY since the Mint was sold out of course. Anyway, I see separation in the lettering IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, and (maybe!) the date. It is more pronounced on the left side of the obverse and nothing on teh reverse - looks normal. It has the "weak" strike (or whatever you would call it) to the east of the main strike. I have looked at this 10 times tonight and couldn't believe it. I was thinking "wouldn't it be cool to find an error on a proof!", then I realized if it came from EBay, certainly the dealer would have checked. Anyway, if this is what it is, is there any decent value to it? Is there intrinsic value to the set since it contained the proof error? All teh other coins appear 100% normal in both sets. I tried to take pictures tonight, but nothing is coming out with my macro feature on my digital camera. Wish I could for you!
