I have a few of the same sets with the MEL Dollar.
I sold one set about 3-4 months ago to a collector
who was extremely thrilled to get it for $300.I bought mine from a large marketing company
that found (at least) hundreds of them in the sets,
but because they were stripping the US Mint sets to
make some sort of other sets, almost all of the Monroe's
I bought from them (SP/Satin Finish) were already taken
out - till I asked them where they were finding 'em, and
they told me - I managed to buy 8 sets in the original
packaging.Nice find, and I'm sure most casual collectors wouldn't
even know to look for them there, or in some cases,
wouldn't see them in the packaging....Retired Collector & Dealer in Major Mint Error Coins & Currency since the 1960's.Co-Author of Whitman's "100 Greatest U.S. Mint Error Coins", and the Error Coin Encyclopedia, Vols., III & IV.

Some people are collecting these, however, it seems they are not uncommon errors... If I found one, I would keep it, but would not seek one out to purchase. Cheers, RickO

I'm still holding onto the 2010 satin finish Sacagaweas that I found in my 2010 Mint Sets. I had PCGS certify them and they are two of my most prized finds ever.
I knew it would happen.
