Hi all, My US Coins submissions. This is a 1996 W Mint Mark graded at MS 67 Full Torch I purchased this beauty as part of the US Mint Sets sold back in 1996. The West Point Dime came separate in a small package. So for 21 years I had it put away somewhere in my coin collection waiting for it to be set free. Not until this past January did I cut it to release the Dime and send it to NGC for attribution. This is coin #10 I got back from NGC Enjoy
wow I didnt know these were out there but then again I wasnt a collector in 1996. I am full intent on getting a set with the west point dime now. Thanks for sharing @paddyman98
I thought it was really cool when the mint did this. The mint set was only $8.00 at that time and you got the extra W dime for free. In 95 they gave away the 95W Silver Eagle with the gold set. I had hopes that the mint would keep doing something like this each year. They didn't but it would have been cool.
Woohoo I just got my 96 mint set in mail today, havent had time to look at it yet cause I'm at work but it looked awesome at a glance. Not a bad price either got the coa and whole set for 15 bucks
Thanks. Learn something new everyday. On these two dimes, do you see a mint mark anywhere? Was 1996 the only year for the Roosevelt W?
I've seen a few PL examples of these, but I'm not sure if the price they are asking is worth it. These have always seemed like a gimmick to me.
