Uncirculated coin sets have
been produced annually by the United States' Mint since the late
1940's (except 1950, 1982 & 1983). A Mint Set contains uncirculated
examples of each of the "business strike" coins produced
at the various United States' Mints. A mint set consists of two
pliofilm packages in a white (or yellow) envelope. One package
contains the Denver Mint coins and the other contains the Philadelphia
Mint coins. The coins are usually a little nicer than those produced
for circulation because they are handled more carefully and packaged
at the mint.
Due to the coin shortage in the
mid 1960's, the mint did not produce the usual 2-pack set but
instead produced Special Mint Sets (containing the cent thru
half dollar) in 1965 through 1967. These Special Mint Sets are
sort of a hybrid between uncirculated and proof coins.
Pictured below are mint sets of
the last fifty years as packaged by the U.S. Mint. All sets come
in the original, undamaged packaging.
Shipping and insurance charges
are added on at checkout and are based on the total amount of
your order from our website (see chart below).
Note: The 1971 and 1972 sets were
packaged without the Eisenhower dollars that year.
