I got mine when the 1996 mint sets were initially released, and it's been in my 8125 for a number of years now. I don't remember what I kept it in between the time I bought it and the time I got the 8125, which was at least a year or two - guess I left it in the OGP.

I see some people selling 1996 W dimes for about $13, but you can get the entire 1996 P&D Mint set for $16 with free shipping, on ebay. It is cheaper to just buy both sets and sell/cash the rest. Kind of strange why that dime is selling for so much on its own. |

I had never heard of the dime until someone was talking about finding one in change. So after reading all of this and the poll I decided to go out and buy myself a 1996 set so I could have one too :)

I have one for my 7070 set. I want each mint represented in my album and the 1996 dime is my only option for W.

There are W mintmarked ASEs, and the 7070 has a slot for that.

unless I decided to upgrade the dime in my 7070. I bought the set a couple years ago for my niece. It's her birth-year. Now, after reading this thread, I feel that I need another one for my 7070! A fantastic idea for the clad roosie hole. |

I have one in my Dansco 8125 and one in a Mint Set still. I picked up the sets for $3.84. Yeah, that will never happen again in my lifetime.

I have heard of it but do not have one. I will get one eventually.

Bought it at the Phildelphia Mint gift shop in the summer of '96. It was just after the Atlanta Olympics opening ceremony, as there was a television in the gift shop showing Ali over and over again running up the steps and lighting the torch. It was the only mint set I bought from the Mint before collecting Mint sets in earnest a few years ago. The set cost $7.50 or $8.00 then for 11 coins as opposed to $31.95 today for 28. The Mint sets could use a boost from time to time like a '96-W dime to jazz up interest and increase sales.
