Is a U.S. Mint coin set more valuable if.............

CC2GO

NEED HELP PLEASE! Is an Uncirculated 20005 Statehood Quarter Mint set more valuable than the standard issue price
if the obverse of one of the quarters faces opposite the other coins in the package? The coin is in backwards from the rest.

Or if the coin(s) look gradeable would it be more valuable to submit individual coins for grading?

Thinking about listing on the Bay.
Thanks!

I got two flipped coins out of 40 sets purchased, so I doubt there is much premium if any.

The grading is very dependent on how nice the coins are. I went through my 40 sets and submitted about 40 coins (1 coin in 22) for grading. I had a few winners (up to $375 for 1 coin) and several losers (worth about $5). Overall a small profit from a lot of labor to select the best, submit, sell, ship, etc. This is after much time selecting choice MS moderns for grading. If you are not experienced with modern grading, I recommend purchasing a few cheap MS68SF coins to compare to. Also get the pop reports and watch e-bay to know which make no profit in MS68 and must go higher to make $.

The last one (original sale fell through) is on e-bay now.

Modern mint sets don't have much deviation in price for stuff like that, or for quality of coins as they're all pretty much the same.

Thanks so much! That helped a lot! I actually have a PCGS MS69 Satin quarter to compare them to.
Thanks again!

Welcome aboard.

This isn't unusual and I've never heard of anyone interested in the coins or sets
which are upside down. There's a tiny market for other sorts of packaging errors
like two coins in the same packet but not for this.

Curiously, about 1% of 1968 mint sets appear to have all their coins upside down.
Probably they were just packed in the plastic backward for a period though they
could have been put in upside down.
