At a coin show about a year ago. A conversation I had with a dealer revealed him finding a 2000 P dime. I believe ICCS graded it MS-67 to the best of my knowledge and he said he refused $11,000. My reaction of course was WOW!
A 10 cent investment is a lot to put out is it not?

I believe the most anyone has paid for the MS67 2000P Dime was about $5000. Since then I believe you can pick one up for $2000- $3000.
The 2006P MS66 Non magnetic cent has sold for a little over $3000.

Anyone know the chances of finding a 2000p dime? How were they issued? Circulation only?

probablly none. they were test pieces given to the vending industry to calibrate their machines. the ones for sale now were never returned to the mint.

How many people have checked the magnetic status of their 2005 PL set 1c? It's newly discovered, but that doesn't mean it is unique. There could be hundreds waiting to be discovered. Time for everyone to check their 2005 PL sets.
It would be absolutely insane for anyone to spend $20K or even $3K for this until there is some idea of what is the true population.
Statistically, what are the odds of a non-magnetic getting into the NBU P hopper AND the resulting set being broken up and sold by a dealer?

It is official this 2005P Non Mag penny has sold with a happy new owner. I will leave it to the new owner to disclose details if they want.

Can you tell us what numismatic set that coin came from?

There were approx 400,000 different sets made in 2005. I recommend to check them all and don't leave a stone unturned.I checked sets in the thousands and only found 1. My prediction,max 20 to be found.

So did you find it in a regular uncirculated mint set? Wedding set? Holiday coin set? Oh Canada set? Graduation set? Birthday set? Montreal Canadiens set? Special edition AB and SK 25c PL set?
Throw us a bone here...

Besides the regular uncirculated mint set? Wedding set? Holiday coin set? Oh Canada set? Graduation set? Birthday set? Montreal Canadiens set? Special edition AB and SK 25c PL set? RCM also made First day issue penny on card in 2005 too!  Also... 2005P Non Mag penny = Non Mag could be CU plated Zinc or made on a Copper Proof blank?  Edited by Penny4Me

Another question for the experts. If this coin came from a set, why graded MS67 rather than PL67?

For some point into the non-silver era ICCS began using MS-xx + an NBU comment for uncirculated set coins, which received careful attention and handling making them of higher quality than could be obtained from true business strikes. I think they abandoned this a few years ago when Winnipeg stopped specially handling uncirculated set coins and began packaging stuff off the normal production lines.

I doubt more than a few people have taken a magnet to their 2005 uncirculated sets. So, almost nothing is known at this point, even if one person searched thousands of sets.
If an entire day's production of sets accidentally used the wrong planchets, thousands could be waiting to be discovered. Shipping flow may mean all of them are in a certain part of the country. In the hands of dealers. In the hands of consumers.
Heck, a bunch sold to tourists and now out of the country could be involved.
For sure everyone should take a magnet to their sets and report their findings.
My two 2005P NBU are magnetic.

I just wonder how many sets were purchased/checked by only 1 dealer sure not in the thousands as reported.Unless you take your magnet on a trip across the country or work at the Mint.This is my opinion for what it's worth.
As far as the extremely rare 2006P non magnetic,ICCS alone was up to 82 certified as of this spring.

The 2013 Charlton says there are 2 currently certified. No doubt threre will be more. But I don't think this will be another 2006 magnetic no-P no-mint mark where hundreds or perhaps thousands surface. It has been over a month since the first one surfaced and no one on this site has found one that they have admitted to. I suspect that these are pretty scarce coins.
