<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3015076, member: 66"]Mint sets from 1959 to date are made up of two sets, one for P one for D. From 1959 to 64 and 1968 to I think 1998 they were the pliofilm sets. The 1959 to 1981 sets had a gray plastic disc in each set that identified the mint and the sets had either a red or blue edge depending on the mint. (I don't remember which mint used which color.) The sets from 1984 to 1998 replaced the plastic disc with a copper plated zinc cent planchet stamped with which mint it was and I believe the edge of each set was still either red or blue.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1965 to 1967 they made "special mint sets".
