They have the coins minted in the location of the shop, so Denver or Philly.

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18942 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:30 am Great sets, Dearborn and congratulations on your achievement! The only USA Souvenir Set I have is a 1977 Philadelphia one that I picked up several years ago in a British dealer's junk bin - I think it cost me one pound!

jbuck Moderator United States 196466 Posts	Posted Yesterday 12:04 pm Quote: How do these sets differ from the regular mint sets? I've seen plenty of the regular ones. Souvenir coins come from the regular production line at just one mint. The full uncirculated mint sets have coins from both mints. They are made on different presses that run at a lower speed and higher pressure. They also get better handling.

Also the Souvenir sets nave a larger brass token depicting the mint it came from and is located in the bottom row center spot, while the older uncirculated sets will have a small brass or plastic token in the top right corner, and will usually have a red or blue strip indicating the mint as well Denver "Uncirculated" set Denver "Souvenir" set Collecting since 1972.

I wish, I have been looking for the final 7 sets for years now, occasionally looking to see if any are coming up for sale 2 years ago, these 7 final Philly sets were selling for 500 and above EACH. I got lucky and searched at the right moment and saw all 7 that I needed with an average cost of $160.00 each. Quote: Yes sir, there is a 1981 SBA 3 coin souvenir set. (The 1999 P/D coins were included in the uncirculated mint set.) Yep, I sent and looked and found them (2 sets for each and the main difference is the envelope and the colors of them. Also found the Bicentennial souvenir set too (yes, I bought all of them.) The 1979 3 coin set was also produced for the SBA dollar. (see my firs set of images at the top.) Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 108016 Posts	Posted Today 11H 17M ago Thank you Thad - I think this is why I went after it, a collection where the sets were bought directly from each mint.
