1960 US Mint set Denver blister pack No D Roosevelt dime 0

[Glenn Armstrong]

I enjoy searching the old silver mint set for errors and came across this.  Likely a packaging error from the mint as I’ve not heard of “No D” dime. Just looking for input from the forum as to how common mint packing errors are with the old uncirculated sets.Thanks for any feedback.

Do not remove it

A Philadelphia Mint dime was inadvertently inserted into the Denver portion of the set. It is a packaging error and of some interest as such. As Moxie 15 suggested, leave the envelope sealed.

Thanks! Yeah, no intention to break it out. Wondering how common this may be?

I vaguely recall these being packaged at the San Francisco Mint...Mr. Lange will have to correct me on that.

The coins were shipped from the mints to a third location for packaging, but I don't know where that location was. the 1965 - 67 SMS's WERE packaged in San Francisco, but I don't know about the earlier sets.  An examination of the Mint Reports of the early 60's might shed further light on the subject.

So is it worth anything ?

The dime itself does not carry a premium but the complete cellophane package has some value, but not huge.

Dime should be worth 10 or 15x face right ?

[Joydeep]

The dime, as per today's market silver price, is worth more than 15x its face value.

As per the entire P+D mint package is concerned, I have seen pristine 1960 sets sell on eBay for around $30 - $40.
