This is an authentic 1979 United States Mint Souvenir Set, assembled and sold exclusively through the gift shop at the Denver Mint. Unlike standard annual uncirculated sets distributed by mail, these souvenir sets were produced in much smaller quantities and could only be purchased in person by visitors and tourists at the facility.

🖼️ Condition & Historical Appeal

• The Coins: Each coin in this set is a hand-selected Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) specimen, chosen for its sharp strike and strong luster. Because these were compiled directly at the mint, they often exhibit fewer bag marks than coins found in standard circulation rolls.

• The Token: A key feature of this specific set is the official bronze Denver Mint souvenir medal included in the center slot of the packaging, featuring an illustration of the historic Philadelphia Mint building.

• Packaging Condition: The coins are sealed within their original clear vinyl sleeve, which remains supple and clear. The outer blue green envelope features the official Denver Mint graphics and exhibits only light, honest edge wear from nearly 50 years of careful storage.
