Has anyone seen a 1983 mint set with a certificate of authenticity that says its a limited edition mint set? Not a souvenirs set..

According to The Red Book "A bronze Mint medal is packaged with each set". The set posted was, as others have said, put together by a third party.
"The Mint had halted production of its annual uncirculated sets in 1982 and 1983 due to federal budget cuts, and a gripping economic recession that peaked in late 1982" This was created by a third party. A real souvenir set is below.
