There were no tokens in the '73 to '81 sets due to lack of room caused by inclusion of the one dollar coins. The '80-D packet is supposed to hold a Denver and San Francisco SBA. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Very nice!  The rare example of a set that I would not want to bust open.  |

Wonder what the premium would be on this set due to the error ?

50 cents? Good call. Quote:

'80-D half dollars almost always have a shallow scrape on the reverse, obverse, or both. I would very carefully check these if either appear gem. There are scratches on the obverse of both. Can't see much of the backs and I don't want to move them around too much because of the tear. |

Don't underestimate the ebay crowd. You might get a couple bidders to go crazy for it and get a good premium that you wouldn't get elsewhere. |

Quote:Was it supposed to come with the two SBA's as well? Didn't they fill in the extra space with a token then? There were three SBA's in the 1980 set. You will find that one of those SBA's is a D and the other is an S. |

But the small monetary gain will never match the satisfaction of owning it or how it was obtained. I just hope you all bid high when my heirs offer it on ebay - hopefully many years from now.  |

There are so many, quite humorous, puns that can be made about this mistake on the mint's part. Please remember our audience when you reply.
