INTERESTING US Mint misprint discovery on American Disabled Veterans Commem silver dollar proofs (20

orevilleoreville Posts: 11,924 ✭✭✭✭✭
I purchased two different 2010 American Veterans Disabled for Life Commemorative Silver Dollar proofs at a local coin show several months ago and opened the boxes.

One of them stated:

Reverse: .......Sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Norman E. Nemeth.

The other US Mint card insert in the other box stated:

Reverse: .......Sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna.

Huh? Both card inserts are identical in every other way. One of them had to be wrong????? I checked and found out that Joseph Menna indeed was the US Mint Sculptor-Engraver of these 2010 proofs.

I have been looking through as many boxes as I could and have found only one additional box with the incorrect card insert!

What is going on here?????

Please check your boxes and post here your findings!!!

    That's pretty crazy! Wow! If I was Menna I would be soooo pissed off! Could you imagine his family members ordering the coin and getting it with a card that says the other guy. That would totally suck!

    Was there, perhaps, another commem that was Sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Norman E. Nemeth. ?

    Maybe a few cards got mixed into the wrong commem packaging system?

    I would think that's gotta be a possibility with some of the things I've seen come out of the mint.
