GR8 pix, GR58!! (sorry, couldn't resist).
I will endeavor to take some photos of some of my favorite sets tomorrow when there is daylight in my office. Most of the time I try to take pics at night with artificial light and things turn out horribly.

Sounds good CelticKnot .. I am sure we all would like to see what sets you have. I see no problem if some sets get posted more than once.

1996 - one of the sets I watch for This sets is suppose to come with the 1996 W, commemorative dime. The "W" dime, was only issued in this set. Many times I see people trying to sell this set with the "W" dime missing.    |

The 2009 mint set, is another sets that I watch out for. IMO, it has a lot of coins for the price. Wash DC and Territory quarters Four different Lincolns, all made of pre 1982 copper And all the coins are satin finished.    |

Many collectors will use mint sets to fill the empty holes in their albums. I like picking up the 1973 - 1978 sets, when I find them at a good price ... because I like the big Ike dollars in them.   Edited by GR58

2006 Ben Franklin Coin and Chronicles set In 2006 the mint issued two different commemorative dollar. Founding Father and Young Scientist, Proof and UNC for both. This set came with the UNC Young Scientist, and a Poor Richards almanac pamphlet.  Hard to get picture of the coin in the package. So here is what it looks like out of package.   |

Very informative thread for the newcomer. This could be a valuable reference
for some in the coming future. Does this site do "sticky" threads?

Here is my attempt at capturing the 2005 American Legacy Collection in photos. The set is US Mint product code: 5J3 and originally sold for $135. It contains 13 coins, including all 10 coins from the annual proof set and 2 proof commemorative coins: 2005-S Lincoln Memorial cent2005-S Jefferson American Bison Nickel 2005-S Jefferson Ocean in View Nickel 2005-S Roosevelt dime2005-S California Quarter 2005-S Minnesota Quarter 2005-S Oregon Quarter 2005-S Kansas Quarter 2005-S West Virginia Quarter 2005-S Kennedy half dollar2005-S Sacagawea dollar2005-P John Marshall Commemorative Silver Dollar (proof) 2005-P Marine Corps 230th Anniversary Commemorative Silver Dollar (proof) The packaging consists of a large 9.25"W x 10.5"L x 1.5"D bifold album that opens side-to-side to reveal the coins in a flocked container. Descriptions of the two proof commemorative coins are on the inside covers. This album comes with a fold-out "kickstand" for display like a frame. The COA is contained in a pocket in the kickstand. The whole album is protected by a slipcover.   |

Nice set CelticKnot  I have thought about getting some of those, they have a 2006 at my LCS, what holds me back is the size. For some reason I keep running out of space to keep all my coins. |

Thanks, GR58. They are definitely cool sets.
And I feel your pain on space.... OGP tends to chew up valuable safe real estate in a hurry!

In 1999 the mint started the State Quarter program. The proofs sets went from a single lens set to a dual lens set. Moving the quarter to it's own lens.  The red and white box have the silver proof dime, quarters and half dollar.  Blue and white box have the clad proof coins.  |
