<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2903881, member: 66&quot;]JeffB is correct, it was a short sighted attempt at budget cutting.&nbsp; I guess they thought that since they made all these coins for circulation anyway, why spend extra money making some up into sets?, Besides the collectors still had the proof sets.&nbsp; They never stopped to consider that they made a LOT more money on the sets than it cost them to make them. Plus it the Mint was self funding at that time (I don&#039;t know if that had started yet) stopping the sets wouldn&#039;t have reduced the budget anyway.&nbsp; In fact it was a budget cut that INCREASED the deficit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
