Usually the "missing" die is in the punch.

I bought a brand new one of these two yrs ago.  In October I received a carpenters tool kit I had bought.  It had one of these sets included with the other tools. It was missing one die also. Must be how these things are.

Btw I bought the new one from Rio-Grande, it works great.  New cost was $36.00, I think it is worth every penny. Instead if drilling holes in non-ferrous sheet, you just punch them. It is very clean and neat.  If you need to drill holes like this, $20 is a great deal.  The dies can be bought at RioGrande as a set of 7 hole sizes for $17.95. I think they wear or break over time. The body of the punch is heavy duty and will last you forever.

I've used one for forty years and no, I wouldn't sell it for $20.  They're a handy thing to have and made hell-for-stout.
