Upside down Treasury logo in 2005 silver proof set - question

RedStorm

I was looking at a 2005 silver proof set today and noticed on the six coin slab, the Treasury logo was upside down. I dug out another 2005 set I had and the logo was the correct orientation. Any idea how common an upside down logo is? Any value? I was not able to find any info in a quick look. Thanks!

Just pry the case open and flip the insert around.

Did you buy these from the mint or on the secondary market? If not from the mint, I wonder if a prior owner swapped out clad for silver. 🤔

Or, it could just be a mint foul-up.

The set was from my deceased father-in-law's estate. Mrs. Storm had me deal with all the coinage, lol! He had mostly mint products and some foreign silver from his various travels. Nothing too special, but this one caught my eye. I should have mentioned the orientation of the printing on the front of this six coin slab is correct.

I had a mini hoard of 45 2005 silver sets and about and 10 of them had this orientation. It's a well-known packaging mistake with no real added value.

Just a packaging anomaly.... and not uncommon. Cheers, RickO
