Group of 2 United States Mint Set in Original Government Packaging! From 1972-1973 with 24 Coins Inside!. Group of 2 United State Mint Set from 1972-1973 included a total of 24 coins struck at three different mint facilities. Each set is comprised of three Lincoln Cents (P, D, S), two Jefferson Nickels (P, D), two Roosevelt Dimes (P, D), two Washington Quarters (P, D), two Kennedy Half Dollars (P, D). On top of that, for first time, dollar coins were included in a government packaged uncirculated coin set, the 1973 Mint Set included the Eisenhower Dollars struck at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, notably the Eisenhower Dollars were not issued for circulation, creating a low mintage key date for the series. For the 1972 Sets, the Denver Mint coins and plastic disc were placed in a cellophane marked with a red stripe and the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mint coins were placed in a separate cellophane with a blue stripe. Together they were placed between two cardboard inserts and placed within a white envelope. For the 1973 set the five Denver Mint coins were included in one cellophane with red edges. The six Philadelphia Mint and one San Francisco Mint coin were included in a separate cellophane with blue edges. Both were placed between light cardboard within a white envelope with markings indicating “U.S. Mint” and “1973 Uncirculated Coin”. This was a change from prior years of issue.
