<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 85342, member: 112&quot;]Yes they are. In the past - there has never been a separate mintage number issued by the US Mint for mint sets. There are however sales numbers for mint sets. But - since coins for mint sets are struck on different presses and with higher striking pressures - they are not the same as the coins issued for circulation. So on a technical basis - you could say they have a separate mintage number. </p><p><br /></p><p>But you must also remember that this has not always been the case. There was a time when the coins sold in the annual mint sets came right from the circulation strike coins. But for the life of me I can&#039;t tell ya what year it was that they changed - perhaps cladking will remember.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now this year - since the mint sets are all satin finish - only God and the US Mint knows how they will decide to track the mintage numbers. It&#039;s simply never happened before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
