1971 United States Mint Set – Uncirculated Coins from Philadelphia, Denver & San Francisco The 1971 United States Mint Set includes uncirculated examples of every circulating denomination produced by the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. Packaged in its Original Government Packaging (OGP), this set represents the beginning of the fully clad era for the Kennedy Half Dollar, as silver was completely removed from regular-issue halves starting in 1971. The official mintage for the 1971 Mint Set was 2,193,396 sets. This set contains the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and the 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar from both Philadelphia and Denver, along with an “S” mintmark Lincoln Cent and Jefferson Nickel from San Francisco. Collectors appreciate the 1971 Mint Set as the first modern clad-era half dollar release and as a strong representative of early 1970s U.S. Mint design and production. The separate cellophane panels for each mint allow for clear viewing of luster, strike quality, and mintmark distinctions. With its modern-era significance and clean uncirculated presentation, the 1971 Mint Set is an appealing and accessible addition for both new and seasoned collectors working to build a comprehensive run of U.S. Mint Sets.
