In this example a 1983 Roosevelt dime is the only coin that is not "S".  |

I take it that the set in the image is not your set?

Buying one for $1000+ in the OGP seems like a big risk. The sold prices on PCGS are $4000+ for PF70, and less than $600 for PF69. If the owner really believed it would grade PF70, it would already be in a slab and offered at a few thousand bucks.  |

@Dearborn, that listing is not mine. I was making an example. San Fransisco added a Philadelphia coin in that set also.

By the way, I like the 1983 no-mint mark Lincoln Cent; especially the odd-looking one. Does anyone know how many 1983 no-mint marks were made? |

I assumed this mistake didn't happen in the Denver Mint facility? I did
a bit of research on how Denver's uncirculated mint set and proof mint set coins were made. The Denver mint facility processes its coin-making; and makes its proof and uncirculated mint set packaging etc. According to the article, the "D" mint mark is their standard signature.
San Francisco Mint and Philadelphia are different stories.
