EXACTLY! The majority of errors like those are federal crimes, not errors. numisport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once sold a 1969 proof set at the shop I was working at (Still in the original Gov packaging). Those sets are common so I didn't pay any attention to it. The next day they guy brought it back wanting to exchange it because the quarter was "defective". I looked and it sure was. The quarter was struck on a 15 - 20% incomplete planchet. Told him I would be very happy to exchange it but that he be foolish to do so, and that if he didn't want the "defective set I would happily BUY it from him at a healthy profit to him. I told him what it was and that I should have looked at the set before I sold it. My mistake was his gain. (We had bought the set in a lot of miscellaneous proof sets at 10% back of bid.)

Just the random winds could transport enough pot smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like something got on the coin during the packaging process and the particle/substance is causing environmental damage. Package mistakes aren't considered errors and generally reduce the value of the set. In this case, the coin is damaged, which definitely reduces the value.
