Mint To Offer New Mint Set ASE & Presidentilal Coin & Spouse

Taken from an August 9th interview Coin World had with Gloria Eskridge, the Mint's associate director for sales and marketing, Eskridge said, the Uncirculated Mint set is slated to go on sale sometime in mid-September, with a redesigned packaging for the Uncirculated Mint set, eliminating the Mylar packaging used for the set for more than four decades. The new packaging comprises separate flip-up folders for the Denver Mint and Philadelphia Mint coins that alows the edge of the coins to be viewed.

The U.S. Mint is also planning to combine an Uncirculated Presidential dollar coin with its companion First Spouse medal in an ongoing series of annual sets. The Mint has no timetable yet for the release of these sets, Eskridge said. The Mint will also offer two annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin sets, each containing six dollar coins. Each set will contain Uncirculated Mint set quality Presidential dollars, with Denver Mint coins in one set and Philadelphia Mint coins in the other, plus an Uncirculated Mint set quality Sacagawea dollar from the appropriate facility and an Uncirculated American Eagle 1-ounce .999 fine silver dollar with W Mint mark from the West Point Mint.
