Yesterday, after a long wait for the last gap to show up at a reasonable price, one finally did. So I grabbed the 1976.  In light of the US Mint's outrageous recent pricing, I'm calling the collection complete at 2026. At $124.50, the current set cost nearly as much as this 90% Ag 1959 set, buy it now and delivered. Stupid expensive ! Seller's images below:    I bought my first Mint Sets more than 20 years ago, but around five years ago I decided to work on a solid set from 1959 to whenever I finished it.  Along the way, that came to include the 1965-1967 SMS and the 1982-1983 P and D Souvenir sets.  |

Outstanding collection of Mint Sets.  I love the way you have them stored in those containers. I need to go and check what years I have.  |

Thanks, everybody!
I'm thinking about making Franklin Halfs my next focus.
Those early Proofs are big ticket on my income.
And there lots of others that could stand to be upgraded.

Congratulations on the milestone, Vector. Great looking storage and organizing system you've got there. Where did you source those holders and carrying cases ?
