1974 & 1978 Mint Set Pair

Product Description

Now 50 Years Old 1974 Mint Set: Even though the 13-coin 1974 mint set was issued half a century ago, it still remains affordable. The U.S. Mint's annual Uncirculated sets provide collectors with a convenient way to acquire BU specimens of all the year's circulation strikes. This 1974 issue includes Philadelphia and Denver specimens of the cent through dollar, plus an additional penny struck by San Francisco for a baker's dozen. Original U.S. Mint packaging.

Last Ikes 1978 Mint Set: The 12-coin 1978 mint set was the last to include traditional-size dollars. The following year debuted the new small-size Susan B. Anthony dollar, supplanting the impressive Eisenhower dollar found in the 1978 set. Thus the 1978 mint set was the last to contain issues of all six presidential U.S. coins – the end of a brief five-year era. Its 2,162,609 mintage is well below the 1979 set's, but it sells for a similar price.
