What is this?? Uncirculated Denver Mint

I recently inherited a small coin collection, and found this in it. Was it something that went with an uncirculated set, and was taken out of packaging for some reason?

Those came in mint sets.
Around the early 80’s the mint had leftover holders from the 79-81 release which had SBA’s in them.
So the mint, having far more intelligent people working there , back then, decided that instead of throwing the remaining holders out and they didn’t have a new coin to put in there, pressed up a bunch of mint tokens ( Philly and Denver) and put em where the 3 year only Susan B Anthony dollar coins went). ( Fairly good run on sentence, Eh?).
Anyway.
Welcome and keep asking questions. There’s all kinda folks here , very smart. Me, I just remember some stuff
Jzyskowski and the boys 😉🙀🦫

I have some of those too still in those old mint sets. I have half seriously wondered if PCGS or NGC would slab them before. I doubt they would, but would they? 🤔

That was for the 1982 Proof sets. What the OP found is from an Uncirculated mint set and is minted on the same planchets as Lincoln cents.
I just looked on eBay, closest I found was one from a proof set that ANACS slabbed 🌝

These appeared in every regular mint set packet from 1984 to 1998 inclusive.
It comes from a mint set like this.

Yup. Your correct. Quick look in the mint set box told me I might have something wrong😁🙀🦫

After that they went to the paperboard indicators. Obvious cost reduction. Cheers, RickO
