Group of 2 United States Mint Set in Original Government Packaging! From 1974-1975 with 26 Coins Inside!. Group of 2 United State Mint Set from 1973-1974 included a total of 26 coins struck at three different mint facilities. In 1973, for the 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. These two additions raised the total number of coins per set to thirteen. Each Mint Set contained 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), and two Eisenhower Dollars (P, D). Due to the increased number of coins included in each set, the plastic disc which had been packaged with sets for the prior five years was dropped. 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 “197_ Uncirculated Coin”.
