The coin set you get will be as good as or better than the item photographed. Due to rising silver prices, coin shortages gripped the nation in 1966. In response, the U.S. Mint did not produce Mint Sets and Proof Sets between 1965 and 1967. Rather, they issued these Special Mint Sets. The coins in this set are struck from specially prepared dies, but not as proofs. As a result, they display mirror surfaces that are unique to these sets. In order to alleviate the coin shortage, the Mint removed the mintmarks from all coins this year. So, the 1966 set contains five coins: The Lincoln Memorial Cent, the Jefferson Nickel, the Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter and Kennedy Half Dollar. Because silver prices had risen far above the nominal value of the dime and quarter, these coins were struck in a special “clad” composition for the first time. For these coins, a layer of copper is sandwiched between two layers of nickel. The dime and quarter are still being struck this way today. The Kennedy Half, however, still contained 40% silver in this 1966 Special Mint Set. The set is housed in the official U.S. Mint hard plastic holder. You get ALL THREE (3) 5-coin 1966 SMS in the original mint sleeve and holder but no box or envelope. This is a stock photo of one of many of these sets that we have. The coin set that you get will be as good or better than what you see here.
