<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 680574, member: 66"]As mentioned it varies depending on the year. In GENERAL the mint set contains examples of the coins made for circulation that year. But there are some years that don't have certain coins even though they made them for circulation, and other sets that have coins that were NOT made for circulation, For example there are no ike dollars in th 1971 or 72 mint sets, but the 73 set does have them even though none were made for circulation that year. Before 1959 the mint sets were double sets with two coins of each denomination from each mint. Since 1959 just one coin of each denomiation from each mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you saw a listing for a 5 coin 1963 set it was either half of a mint set, or it was a proof set. Both the proof and mint sets used the same pliofilm type holders from 1959 to 1964.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
