1890 Mint Set with Gold

From 1879 through 1890, most of the nation's silver was coined into Morgan Dollars, leaving little for the minor silver coins such as Quarters and Halves. During most of this period, Quarters and Halves were struck only in Philadelphia, with a few Dimes struck also in San Francisco. Regarding silver coinage, Carson City and New Orleans would strike only Dollars. Due to the inactivity of the Branch mints, the 1890 set is small, requiring only 10 coins. Gold coinage was struck in Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco and Carson City. The Half Eagle, Eagle and Double Eagle from Carson City will prove to be the toughest coins in the set, but the Philadelphia Half Eagle is a low fairly low mintage issue and somewhat scarce as well.

Notes: This set has bonuses.
