1978 U.S. Mint 12 Coin Set - Single Set in Original Government Packaging

A Complete Snapshot of American Coinage from 1978

Step back to 1978 with this complete 12-coin uncirculated mint set, featuring every coin issued for circulation that year from both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. This set captures the final years of the iconic Eisenhower dollar series, representing a transitional moment in American numismatic history before the introduction of the Susan B. Anthony dollar.

The Coins in This Set

Each envelope contains a carefully selected array of 1978 coinage: the Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, Kennedy half dollar, and the majestic Eisenhower dollar from both Philadelphia and Denver. The coins rest in their protective packaging just as they left the Mint nearly five decades ago, preserving their original uncirculated brilliance.

The Eisenhower dollar, featured prominently in this set, honored both President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Apollo 11 moon landing. These large, impressive coins represent the last of the traditional large-format dollar coins before the Mint transitioned to smaller designs in 1979.

Why Collectors Choose This Set

Mint sets offer an affordable entry point into date-and-mintmark collecting while providing coins of superior quality to those found in pocket change. The 1978 set is particularly appealing for its inclusion of the Eisenhower dollar series and its representation of late 1970s American coinage. Whether you're building a year-by-year collection, seeking birth-year coins, or preserving a piece of monetary history, this set delivers both numismatic value and historical significance.

Condition Note: While we carefully select sets with the best available packaging quality, the age and envelope format of these vintage mint sets means outer packaging condition may vary. The coins themselves maintain their uncirculated quality.
