The United States Mint is no longer selling this Proof coin collection, but you can still buy it on the secondary market.  The United States Mint sold this set for $100.

I have searched through ebay’s recent completed sales for the 2008 American Legacy Collection.  It seems like they are selling between $120 and $140.  Some of the Buy It Now sales were as high as $160.

If you are looking to buy a 2008 mint proof coin set, the 2008 United States Mint American Legacy Collection is a great proof set.  I like being able to buy the 2008 Bald Eagle Silver Dollar with the other coins.

How did this 1982 coin error occur?

Sometimes the the coin dies are made at the Philadelphia branch of the U.S. mint.  Once the dies are made, the dies are sent to the other mints where those mints are to punch the mint marks.  For the 1982 dime coin error, some of the dimes that were produces never got the mint marks punched.

The Almost Uncirculated grades of these 1982 coins can be worth some money.  I have seen them on sale between $30 – $40.

So check your pocket change for the 1982 Roosevelt Dime coin error.
