The U.S. branch mint at West Point had previously struck only some modern commemoratives and silver and gold eagles. As an experiment in 1996, a regular U.S. Brilliant Uncirculated dime was planned with the distinctive "W" mintmark; however, it was issued only in this mint set, whose mintage ended at just 1.5 million. Since none entered commerce, this "W" dime is especially coveted. Also included are "P" (Philadelphia) and "D" (Denver) issues of the cent, nickel, dime, quarter and half dollar. Protective see-through packets.
