US Mint Set
About US Mint Set
Official US Mint sets containing uncirculated examples of every coin issued for circulation each year. First sold in 1947. From 1965 to 1967, special mint sets replaced proof and mint sets. Modern mint sets use satin finish coins distinct from business strikes. The sets provide collectors with affordable uncirculated examples of every denomination from every mint. Over 1 million mint sets are sold annually. The packaging has changed many times over the decades.
