    1970S Mint set

    Purchased this mint set for the 1970S RPM and see that there is an S nickel as well as the P quarter dime and cent. Is it normal to mix MMs?

    Don't deal with mint sets much so I have to ask.

    Thanks

    edit: Is it alright/advisable to break up the set (to separate out the RPM)?

    You got half of the set, the set has 2 pages like you got.
    The other half has a quarter, half, cent, dime, nickel and the mint token in red (you got only the part with the blue).

    The key coin of the 70 mint set is the 70-D half because it only came in the mint set, none were circulated.

    True that.

    I actually was only expecting to get the 70S RPM but, the seller sent me the cellophane package.

    Interesting. They didn't mix a different Jefferson mint (S) in the mint sets that I know of.

    Mint sets usually had an all Philly set and an all Denver set and some years they included an S Lincoln cent in one of them.
    Others with more experience might know something different.

    Well, they sort of did mix them because the set didn't include one of everything, so they squeezed it into the 2 sheets.

    No problem to break it up.

    The sets often had the small date cent or the 70-S RPM-001. Many of them are in the mint sets.

    Let me guess, that's what you got, 70-S RPM-001?

    You got that right, Toyota.

    Just adding...

    Always look at 70-S cents in dealer stock/flips.

    Many of the 70 mint sets they get are cut up because a lot of Kennedy collectors want that mint set only 70-D half so dealers cut the sets up or sell the other sheet. So look at their flipped 70-S cents, they are a great source for finding small dates or the RPM-001.

    Even the 70 proof sets are worth a look for the SD proof or several different nice 70-S DDO cents including the monster LD over SD proof cent.
