The Coins in This Set
From Philadelphia (P Mint): The set includes Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Eisenhower Dollar—each bearing the distinctive characteristics of Philadelphia Mint production from this historic year.
From Denver (D Mint): A matching complement of coins struck at the Denver facility, including the only Half Dollar production of 1968. This unique production detail makes the Denver Half Dollar a particularly interesting piece within the set.
Special San Francisco Cent: The inclusion of an S Mint Lincoln Cent adds a unique element to this set, representing the San Francisco Mint's limited production role during this transitional era.
Why Collectors Choose This Set
Mint sets offer exceptional value for collectors building date collections or seeking higher-grade examples of circulating designs. The coins in these sets were hand-selected by U.S. Mint personnel for their superior strike quality and eye appeal, making them noticeably finer than coins pulled from circulation. For those assembling a complete run of mint sets or seeking a tangible piece of 1968 Americana—a year marked by significant cultural and political change—this set delivers both historical authenticity and numismatic quality at an accessible price point.
Condition Note: While we carefully hand-select sets with the nicest available packaging, the age and envelope format of vintage mint sets means outer packaging condition may vary. The coins themselves maintain their uncirculated quality.
