1966 US Special Mint 5-Coin Set (w/Box)

Please note the coins may display imperfections.

Bullion Exchanges is proud to offer the 1966 US Special Mint 5-Coin Set, a unique collection of U.S. coins struck during a pivotal year in American numismatic history. In 1965, the U.S. Mint ceased production of traditional proof sets due to rising silver prices and the need to conserve silver. Instead, they introduced Special Mint Sets (SMS) in 1965, 1966, and 1967. These sets featured coins struck with specially prepared dies to achieve a proof-like finish, offering collectors an alternative to the discontinued proof sets. The 1966 SMS set is particularly notable for its inclusion of the 40% silver Kennedy Half Dollar, which was a significant change from the previous 90% silver composition. This set was produced at the Philadelphia Mint and was not intended for circulation, ensuring its quality and desirability among collectors. As a piece of American history, this set not only serves as a collectible but also as a tangible asset that may appreciate over time.
