1977, 1984, 1997, 2006 & 2011 Mint Set Collection w/ Storage Box

Product Description

1977 Mint Set — The 1977 mint set's quarters, halves and dollars reverted back to their original engravings following the Bicentennial. In addition to the standard specimens, the 12-coin set would also be home to the second-to-last Eisenhower dollars. Just two million were output, far less than its proof set counterpart's mintage of 3.2 million.

1984 Mint Set — Due to budget constraints, no mint sets were produced for two years prior to this 10-coin 1984 set. Yet even after the dry spell, just 1.8 million were issued – a significant decline when compared to the outputs of only a few years before. Original U.S. Mint packaging.

1997 Mint Set — This 10-coin 1997 mint set's output of just 950,473 claims the lowest production figure in a 40 year period that spanned from 1964 to 2003. It includes specially minted BU specimens of each circulation coin issued for the date: both Philadelphia and Denver cents, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars. Protective see-through enclosures also include issuing mints' medals.

2006 Mint Set — The U.S. Mint issued just 847,631 Uncirculated sets in 2006; a skimpy figure that awarded the big 20-coin set the second lowest output since 1963. Includes P and D specimens of the year's commemorative quarters; as well as cents, dimes, halves and small dollars. Notably, this set contained the newly redesigned nickel and was also the last issued with traditional cellophane packaging.

2011 Mint Set — Just 533,529 of these big 28-coin sets were produced – significantly less than the average one to two million output each year in earlier decades. Included are 2011 quarters from the second year of the America the Beautiful series; as well as the annual Presidential and Native American dollars; and cents through half dollars.
