If two and nickel three cents were made, they were included. The silver, three cents (if made) through silver dollar were another group. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then came the gold. The gold sets sold for about $43 with a face value of $37.50 if the usual four coins were involved. That was a lot of money in those days, and very few gold sets were sold each year. Twenty to twenty-five was the norm. </p><p><br /></p><p>One area the mint did break its sets only rule was with the gold dollars of the 1880s. Another was the 1875 Twenty Cent Piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
