2007 Jefferson Proof Edge Lettering Out of Sequence!

Nice cover story in latest Coin World about out of sequence edge lettering on 2007 Jefferson proof dollars. Seems the edge lettering on the proofs is created by a three piece segmented collar. In the case of the out of sequence coins "IN GOD WE TRUST" (one segment) is incorrectly followed by "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (another segment) instead of the third segment that gives the date and mint mark. If you look at the edge of the proof you can see a vertical line where segments meet. I'm gonna wait and see how rare this is before I open the 60 mint sealed sets I stashed away. Coin World reports the error was found by an Arizona collector, Vit Pierri, on four Jefferson's from the four coin proof sets.
The price of gold is set by faith, or lack of, in the currency it is priced in.
