1966 United States Special Mint Set- Uncirculated- 5 Coins
Capture a fascinating piece of American numismatic history with this beautifully preserved 1966 United States Special Mint Set (SMS). Struck during a critical transition period when the U.S. Mint suspended traditional proof and uncirculated sets due to coin shortages, these historical specimens feature a unique high-quality satin-like finish produced with specially polished dies. This set contains five historic denominations including the 40% silver Kennedy half dollar, housed inside its original government protective hard-plastic holder. This vintage set is an exceptional choice for those looking to bolster their collections with a piece of mid-century Americana.
