<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 359472, member: 9474&quot;]For the past two months, I have been trying to put together UNC sets of halves, quarters, dimes, nickels, and cents.&nbsp; I started with my local coin shop looking through all their 2x2 boxes.&nbsp; This was great for all the pre 1964 coins, but for everything after 64, all the coins nearly look the same.&nbsp; After a few hours I started going cross-eyed. So I thought, I would make this easy - I would just by mint sets and break them apart.&nbsp; Now, I have looked for the best sets to buy and the ones that are really bad, I passed on. I am more interested in the coins being in the best uncirculated condition that are available rather than holding out for that MS65+ coin.&nbsp; These are just going in my books and not being slabbed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My question is this - when putting together an UNC set, would the coins in the 1965, 66 and 67 special mint sets be appropriate to add to a collection.&nbsp; Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe these were minted differently than the regular coins for circulation.&nbsp; So would I have to go back to the shop and find &quot;true&quot; UNC coins or will the coins in these sets count?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kinda crazy question - but I never said I was sane - just well medicated! :kewl:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
