<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 39018, member: 68&quot;]The mint director had this specially made only for inclusion in the 1996 mint set.&nbsp; Its purpose was two-fold; one to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Roosy dime and two, to thank mint set customers for their loyalty in buying these sets for years despite the poor secondary markets for them.&nbsp; They sold only 1.3 million of these sets which was very surprising.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The W dimes were minted in West Point, New York and are the only circulating coins struck at this facility with the mint mark (they did mint quarters in the late &#039;70&#039;s without a mint mark).&nbsp; Average quality of these is excellent but truly superb pieces are not a lot more common than other coins of this era.&nbsp; They wholesale at prices up to $14 but a quick sell will usually require some discount.&nbsp; 1996 mint sets are not complete if this coin is not included.&nbsp; It appears in its own separate pliofilm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
