Just posting pictures of what the 1973 Denver Mint Souvenir Set looked like. I don't know much about souvenir sets. They are mentioned in the Red Book, but not listed. Is there a definitive catalog/listing of what souvenir sets were sold at each of the mint shops? Envelope front... Envelope back... Obverse... Reverse...
My redbook has a listing for these sets, issue price and value today. 70th edition. edit, no price for Denver sets.
Because you couldn't get uncirculated sets from the mint those years.......they weren't offered in the mint offerings at that time. Beats the devil out of me why not.. Everything else could be had by ordering from the US Mint......
Yes that agrees with my understanding too. Uncirculated sets weren't made/sold by the mint those 2 years, but the mint gift shops made up for it by issuing souvenir sets. The mint gift shops issued souvenir sets in many other years as well, including the 1973 I've posted here.
I have every Denver set from 1972-1998 and every Philadelphia set from 1973-1992. Every time the '93-'98 Philly show up on Ebay I just miss out. Very frustrating.
