Collectors Mint Set, Circulation Strikes (1970-2000)

Starting in 1947, the U.S. Mint packaged complete sets of all the coins minted during the year and sold these coins to collectors for a premium price. The sets contain circulation strike examples of every denomination and mint-mark issued for the year. In 1970, the Mint only issued Denver mint half dollars in Mint Sets, and no Denver mint half dollars were released for general circulation. Since that there have been 19 other coins that have been issued by the Mint that were only available in Mint Sets. The "Mint Set Only" set consists of the 20 coins that have been issued exclusively in Mint Sets.

Notes: This set has bonuses. Please see the Set Composition for a listing.
