1997 Mint Set 10 Coins

Product Description

It's one of the key scarcities of the series in recent decades. Just 950,473 were issued in 1997, the lowest output for U.S. mint sets in the span 1964-2003, encompassing 40 years of issue. The set includes specially minted Brilliant Uncirculated specimens of all U.S. circulation coin issues for the date: both Philadelphia (P mintmark) and Denver (D) cents, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars. Protective see-through enclosures also include issuing mints' medals. It was a year when a strong U.S. economy and potent dollar led to federal surpluses for the first time in a long while.
