Has anyone heard of the 2005 silver proof set error?

I was looking on ebay and found someone selling a silver proof set with the treasury seal on the back of the case holding the Sac, Kennedy, ect printed upside down. I looked and mine has this too. Got me wondering how rare this is. Kind of neat. Anyone else have one? image

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    A lot of the 1968 mint sets were packed upside down.

    These are considered
    "packaging errors", and
    will bring a premium, but
    they are not rare.

    This same thing, and other
    variations of it, occur in
    proof sets and mint sets
    going back to the 1960's......

    These are packaging errors. There are also printing errors as well. A few have been printed with no ink, light ink and even a few printed twice.

    Well, you made me go look at mine. It's upside down too. Must not be very rare. image
