United States Mint Set

The Uncirculated Mint Set was introduced in 1947, containing two examples of each coin issued for circulation packaged in a cardboard display case.

Because of the sulfur content in the cardboard packaging, many coins included in the sets developed toning.

Due to a shortage of coins blamed on coin collectors, the United States Department of the Treasury introduced the Coinage Act of 1965, which mandated that mint marks would be removed from all coinage for five years.

1968 saw the return of mintmarks on United States coinage and the standard Mint Set.

The dollar coin made its Mint Set debut in 1973, and was notably not issued for circulation that year.

These coins featured special reverse designs commemorating the bicentennial of American independence.

[8] Production figures were not recorded by the mint, and the sets receive relatively little attention from coin collectors.
