Coins in the 1965 Special Mint Set range in quality, with some bearing dull, matte surfaces and a relative few containing coins with dazzling proof-like finishes.
The United States Mint temporarily halted production of both proof sets and standard mint sets from 1965 through 1967, but in their place were issued so-called "Special Mint Sets" which bear a single coin of each denomination. In 1959, mint sets were packaged in cellophane envelopes, with coins from the Philadelphia Mint receiving their own cellophane package (bearing blue stripes on the edge) and Denver coins assembled in their own, red-striped cellophane package. Until 1959, mint sets were packaged in cardboard panels and included two examples of each issue, thus giving rise to the "double mint set" nickname often given to these early uncirculated sets. 1959 to date are single sets of government issues.īeginning in 1947, the United States Mint began offering sets of uncirculated coinage representing each denomination and mintmark from any given year. 1947-1958 are Treasury-issued double sets (2 of each coin).
Mint set prices are for sets in original government packaging. Individual graded single coins can be found with their respective series. 1955-date are for sets in the original government packaging. Prices for the 1936-42 are based on PR64-quality levels. Any writing, frayed edges, torn envelopes, discolored from improper storage or other issues are typically rejected by market makers, so discount accordingly. Values listed here for are for proof and mint sets with excellent packaging, for retail re-sale. The market makers establishing these bids insist on buying large quantities of specific issues at once, so dealers selling groups of various issues should expect to settle for a discount from these levels.Īlso, the condition of the original packaging is critical. In many cases, dealers will trade proof sets between 5-20% back of the CDN Greysheet bids.
Proof sets are a very complicated part of the wholesale coin market.
