What I love the most is that my set also includes 1982 and 1983 Souvenir Mint Sets (available only at the US Mint to visitors) to bridge the gap in Mint issue sets during those 2 years. 1 set from Philly and 1 from Denver for each year. These are US Mint issue uncirculated sets and IMHO complete the run of coins from my birth year until now.
