1996 United States Mint Set – Includes the Special 1996-W Roosevelt Dime

The 1996 United States Mint Set includes uncirculated examples of every circulating denomination produced by the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, along with a special bonus coin: the 1996-W Roosevelt Dime from the West Point Mint. Issued exclusively in the 1996 Mint Set, this coin significantly enhances the set’s collectability. Packaged in its Original Government Packaging (OGP), the set continues the durable folder-style design introduced in 1993. The official mintage for the 1996 Mint Set was 1,457,949 sets, according to the official Red Book.

Inside, collectors will find uncirculated Lincoln Cents, Jefferson Nickels, Roosevelt Dimes (including the special 1996-W West Point Dime), Washington Quarters, and 1996 Kennedy Half Dollars from both mints. No circulating dollar coin was issued in 1996, maintaining the familiar structure of the decade, but the inclusion of the West Point Dime makes this set stand apart from other mid-1990s releases. All coins are preserved in protective Mint cellophane, showcasing bright uncirculated luster and sharp strike quality.

Because the 1996-W Roosevelt Dime was never released for circulation and appears only within this set (the 1996W Roosevelt Dime was minted to mark the 50th anniversary of the design), the 1996 Mint Set is considered one of the most desirable modern Mint Sets. Collectors assembling Roosevelt Dime albums or completing a full series of U.S. Mint Sets often consider this year an essential key date.
