1987 United States Mint Set – Includes the Non-Circulating 1987 Kennedy Half Dollar The 1987 United States Mint Set features uncirculated examples of every circulating denomination produced by the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. Packaged in its Original Government Packaging (OGP), this set is especially notable because the 1987 Kennedy Half Dollar was not released into general circulation. The official mintage for the 1987 Mint Set was 2,890,758 sets, adding to the set’s importance for collectors of modern U.S. coinage. This set includes uncirculated Lincoln Cents, Jefferson Nickels, Roosevelt Dimes, Washington Quarters, and the key-date 1987-P and 1987-D Kennedy Half Dollars. Since the halves were struck only for collectors and never distributed to banks, the Mint Set remains the primary source for high-quality examples. All coins are preserved in the Mint’s traditional cellophane packaging, maintaining their bright uncirculated luster. The 1987 Mint Set is one of the most desirable modern Mint Sets due to its exclusive half dollars, higher mintage, and classic 1980s presentation. Collectors completing Kennedy Half Dollar albums or assembling a full run of U.S. Mint Sets often consider this one a must-own issue.
