<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 680717, member: 19423"]I used to think that the Mint was starting to go crazy by issuing so many coins in their mint sets in the last few years. However, when you go back far enough, if they made mint sets through all of the years there would have been bigger sets than 2009. 100 years ago, the 1909 Mint Set would have included 29 coins (30 if you go for the 1909/8 $20 as well)!!! Go back even further and the 1857 Mint Set would be 36 coins!!! Would have cost more than the 2009 set as well since it would include $135 face value in gold!!!!! </p><p> </p><p>When I think about that, the cost and number of coins in a modern mint set doesn't bother me as much. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
