1976 Mint Set question

<p>[QUOTE="RandyK, post: 3632701, member: 105781"]Purchased a Denver/Philadelphia Mint Set on Amazon. The U.S. Mint 1976 Uncirculated Coin envelope was sealed with a bar code label that I don't think has anything to do with the original envelope. The blue stripe cellophane pack is the Philly Set and the red stripe pack is the Denver Set. Here is my question. The Cent, Dime, Half Dollar and Dollar coins have a D mint mark. The Nickel and Quarter coins do not have a mint mark. Should a Denver Set possibly come with a Philly Nickel and Quarter? The cellophane doesn't seem to have been tempered with. Something doesn't seem right about this. The condition of the coins are a bit suspect compared to other Mint Sets I have Purchased. I realize that these coins were produced pretty much without extreme care for quality, but the condition looks a bit circulated to me. Anyone ever heard of fake Mint Sets? I'm not sure what to do about this purchase. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen with a Mint Set? RandyK[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
