The numbers of coins offered fluctuated from year to year, depending upon what denominations were being struck for circulation.īefore 1959, Uncirculated Mint sets were individually packaged in cardboard folders each set contained two specimens of each coin struck that year. From 1951 through 1964, sets were offered every year. Sets were again offered in 1949, but none were offered in 1950 due to a Treasury decision to conserve appropriations and manpower during the Korean War, and because Uncirculated coins were available from banks. After the 1947 sets sold out, 1948-dated sets were offered to the public. The first Uncirculated Mint sets, with coins dated 1947, were offered in 1948. The sets provide collectors with Uncirculated examples of each coin struck for circulation that year, and in some cases, examples of coins struck for the Uncirculated Mint sets only (the three 1981 Anthony dollars, for example, and the 1970-D Kennedy half dollar). Uncirculated Mint sets contain coins produced under more or less standard conditions, and which are packaged as a set and sold for a fee over the coins face value. ![]()
