<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2001123, member: 70703&quot;]I know this sounds like a crazy question, but I&#039;ve been trying to determine this for a while and can&#039;t seem to get a solid answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Long story short I purchased a 400 coin lot from someone which contained all coins that were pulled from mint sets and put in 2x2s (less than 60 in that shape) and the rest are in the mint cello or the blister pack.</p><p><br /></p><p>Funny thing is I spent $100 on the lot, but because of the face value of half of the coins them self, my net cost was only around $25 bucks. Can&#039;t beat that...and before anyone says I robbed anyone...this was a buy it now type sale on the inter webs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I digress...</p><p><br /></p><p>My real question is this...I&#039;ve been putting off purchasing the Cherry Picker guides and have placed them on my x-mas list this year for my wife or kids to get me. I&#039;m trying to figure out if any of these coins in his lot of 400 will include any of the varieties or if mints sets even contain the errors and varieties in them. If they do I might pull the trigger now and buy the guides now (which prompts another question, anyone know of any place where I can get the latest editions in hardback new or like new for less than $58 apiece...which includes shipping?)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen the subject touched sever times in pas conversations in the form of &quot;...I don&#039;t think a mint set would include this variety...&quot; etc...</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know if there is a chance that Mint Sets and SMSs actually contain errors and varieties, or are they too QA&#039;d to allow errors and varieties? Is it worth my time even looking through them for errors and varieties?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
