<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 25620, member: 68&quot;]It&#039;s not true that all 1981 SBA&#039;s were released in the mint set.&nbsp; There were some released in a 3 Pc souvenir set of the &#039;81 issues, some were mixed in with 1980 coins in bags, and some sold in $1000 bags to coin dealers.&nbsp; There were lots of special sets made in those days and it wouldn&#039;t be surprising if some were released in this way.&nbsp; Many of these special sets had tiny mintages and were offered at the US Mint booth at coin shows.&nbsp; All I have seen have been of mint set quality though this was not a good year for quality especially for the San Francisco issues.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Usually where you see these discrepancies on modern coins the excesses were destroyed but there are numerous exceptions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
