mint set
Uncirculated coins packaged
A mint set is a collection of uncirculated coins produced by a government mint in a given year, sold to collectors in original packaging.
The coins are struck with standard dies but handled carefully to preserve their finish.
Mint sets differ from proof sets, which contain specially struck coins with mirror-like surfaces.
I bought a 1964 mint set as an investment.
