Many will not mind paying more for the extra (minimal) value the other coins bring to have the coin they really want in the set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Significant and obvious errors in Mint and Proof sets are very, very rare. You have a super cool example of one. Please, by all means, don&#039;t ruin it!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t recommend strongly enough you leave it in there and don&#039;t remove it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also would NOT submit it for grading. It is very obvious what the error is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why pay a fee and add cost to a coin when most serious error collectors will clearly know what it is? The half dollar as is will probably fetch under $100. It costs about $45 to grade/ship by NGC. It is not worth it to grade, which we know being in gov&#039;t packaging will be in the MS67 range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Leave it as is. Don&#039;t spend the money to grade it. It will sell just fine as is and you get to keep more of your money. For me at least, both are very easy calls.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Joe Cronin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
