Group of 2 United States Mint Set in Original Government Packaging! From 1979-1978 with 25 Coins Inside!. Group of 2 United State Mint Set from 1979-1978 included a total of 25 coins. A new circulating coin series debuted within the 1979 Mint Set. The Susan B. Anthony Dollar issued for circulation for the first time this year and examples struck at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints were included in the annual uncirculated coin set. Although coins were also produced for circulation at San Francisco, this coin was not included within the set. Each 1979 Uncirculated Mint Set contained P&D examples of the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, and Susan B. Anthony Dollar. This set include 1980-P & D Lincoln Cents, P & D Jefferson Nickels, P & D Roosevelt Dimes, P & D Washington Quarters, P & D Kennedy Halves, and P & D & S Susan B. Anthony Dollars. The set contains three coins, which were not issued for circulation, but only struck for inclusion within the sets. Similar situations would occur on a few other occasions and each of these sets carries a certain mystique. For what was long considered the final year of the series, the 1981 Susan B. Anthony Dollar was struck only for inclusion within the 1981 Uncirculated Mint Set. Besides the noted dollar coins, each set included circulation strike coins P&D Susan B.Anthony P&D Kennedy Half Dollars, P&D Washington Quarters, P&D Roosevelt Dimes, P&D Jefferson Nickels, and P&D Lincoln Cents. The coins from each mint facility were placed within sealed plastic cellophane packs. These were placed between two protective cardboard pieces and placed within an envelope marked “U.S. Mint 19__ Uncirculated Coin”.
