    Default 2012 Silver Proof Set - Upside down Dime ?

    I received a 2012 Silver Proof set from the mint and the dime was upside down. Should I return this to the mint for another set ?

    Others should chime in, as I am no error expert. But error coins may be worth quite a bit. I for sure would not return it.

    Upside down is no big deal. I'm looking and hoping for an inside out.

    Do you mean that the reverse of one coin is facing the same direction as the obverse of the others?

    IIRC the way they are made, I don't think that's possible.

    Correct, the head of the dime is just pointed down compared to the other coins.
