WayneB47 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 1:57 pm I'm probably just years behind in my knowledge/awareness of these things, but I only recently noticed that the 1969 mint sets I have, contain two 'S' mint nickels...one in the Philly and one in the Denver packet. No 'D' mint nickel. I also observed that the envelopes are 1968 envelopes marked out & relabeled 1969. Is it the case that all the reused envelope sets have no 'D' nickel? Or, is there any data on how many sets went out this way? Thanks for any light you can shed on this. Wayne Report this Post to the Staff

WayneB47 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 10:20 pm Working on pics. Not a camera buff. difficult to get close-up pics with any quality through mint-set cellophane. I have a few of these peculiar sets, so I expected to hear that they're quite common. Anyway, if I'm not successful at any good pics, thanks for your responses. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/01/2019 11:23 am If the date has been changed it was most likely done by someone who had the set but not the proper envelope for it. as for the two S mint nickels, that is a packaging error and does not increase the value by more than a dollar or two.
