1996 United States Mint Set in Original Government Packaging. The 1996 Mint Set was highlighted by the inclusion of a specially produced coin to mark the 50th anniversary of the Roosevelt Dime. As the coin was only available through the annual set. The 1996-W Roosevelt Dime was struck at the West Point Mint and carried the “W” mint mark. This extra coin was included in addition to the Kennedy Halves, Washington Quarters, Roosevelt Dimes, Jefferson Nickels, and Lincoln Cents struck at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. The 1996-W dime was significant, because unlike the other coins it would not be issued for circulation. Packaging for the set highlighted the 50th anniversary of the Roosevelt Dime and the special 1996-W issue on the outer envelope, certificate of authenticity, and an additional insert. The ten regular coins and two mint tokens were sealed within cellophane packs in the usual format. The separate 1996-W Roosevelt Dime was placed within its own smaller individual pack.
