Was this some sort of attempt to get younger people into coin collection or civil war history by the mint? Report this Post to the Staff

The US Mint introduced its first "Young Collectors" Set in 1993 with the release of a set containing the Bill of Rights half-dollar. Over the years, they've released a number of these (and similar) sets, additional "Young Collector" sets include: 1993 World War II 1994 World Cup Soccer 1995 Civil War Battlefields 1996 Atlanta Olympics (4 different half-dollar sets) 1996 Smithsonian Institution (w/ silver dollar) 1998 Black Revolutionary Patriots (w/ silver dollar) 2008 Bald Eagle The Mint has also released a number of "Coin and Stamp" sets and "Coin and Medal" sets. If folks are interested, I can do a few posts on them. BTW: The $50 price tag on the ebay lot you referenced is high -- likely trying to capitalize on the Civil War's current sesquicentennial. If interested, you should be able to find one for $25 or less. Hope this helps! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 4:56 pm Commems I would love it if you decided to do a post on them. It seems to be a rather random collection of what they chose to include for that series with the 2008 being brought back sometime after they had stopped if your list is complete. Were these popular?
