I have always known about the 2018 S Reverse Proof Set but just recently found out about the 2017 S Enhanced Uncirculated Set. So this got me thinking that I might have missed out on other sets with interesting or different finishes. I would like to restrict thisto the discussion of the mint sets that are based on the Penny, Nickel, Dime, Quarter, Half Dollar and Dollar coins. So here is my list so far 2017 S Enhanced Uncirculated 10 Coin Set Set 2018 S Reverse Proof 10 Coin Set Here is a picture of the different sets I have which might get reorganized based on this topic. I'm already thinking about moving my 2017 and 2018 sets to a seperate page so I can include the quarters, which are in my quarter binder  |

Thanks.
It's an eclectic collection, but it's easy to work with.
I'm currently sourcing coins to create a single page featuring a Proof, Enhanced Uncirculated, Reverse Proof, and Proof set.

I thought that photo was horrible
It's hard to take a pictue of coins with different finishes, I had to turn off most of the direct lights for that one and didn't really like the results
But is showcased the different sets I was talking about
I guess there aren't other sets with different finishes, becuase if there were, I am sure someone would have posted by now.

it is a fine image of your coins, you will never get it perfect on such a large display due the the different angles and the way the lighting reflects.  But I can see them all quite well. |

I decided to reorganize my pages and arrange the sets vertically instead of the more typical horizontal layout. This lets me add the quarter to each mint set and also gives me a way to include the 56th quarter from the Statehood and ATB sets. I also had the 2021 Delaware quarter that needed a home. So I ordered three silver proof partial sets from 1999, 2010, and 2021. I'm planning something unorthodox with the Statehood and ATB sets—using the penny, nickel, dime, and half from the first year the collection began, paired with the quarter from the final year. The mixed date sets and vertical arrangement would probably drive most collectors crazy, but it's something I've wanted to try. Edited by Boba Debt

the 1963 - 2010 page will be pretty boring since they all just have the proof finishe.
But the second page with 4 distictly different finishes is going to look great.
Someday I'll replace the 1976 set with a 1936 proof set but finding one in the condition I want isn't easy

Hey Boba, you may already know this but in 2019 the Mint released special cents minted at West Point and they came in 3 different finishes: Uncirculated, Proof, Reverse Proof. Same with nickels in 2020. Unfortunately they did not continue past 2021 with dimes and beyond; I think the pandemic impacted this program.
It seems you are focusing on complete sets here and I'm not sure where the RP 2019 W cent and the RP 2020 W nickel would fit in; maybe their own partial set, or even a set of all 6 coins with the W MM.

When I learned about them I only bought the West Point Reverse Proofs for a couple reasons - I like reverse proofs and these were the first 1c and 5c minted at West Point I know the Proof and Uncirculated were also firsts for West point but I wasn't as interested in them Even though I'm not a completest, if the mint had released the UC nickel I might have bought all 6 Here are some before and after pics of my Variations Page Before  After  Edited by Boba Debt

That 2014 Kennedy half 50th Anniversary, Spectacular 5- coin Set rose up to beyond My expectations, They presented an Awesome Set. The way it was presented to me was also special, They look Awesome in your posted pictures, Thanks for the pictures. |

I think you meant the 2014 "4" coin set
I was pretty impressed with it and their attention to the deatils was not lost on me.
Using the 1964 design and the original 90% alloy instead of 99.99 that they switched to in 2019 was interesting.
I was equally impressed with the copper alloy that was used for the 2009-S Penny set, it is the same alloy used from 1909 - 1942
I just wish they current releases had the same level of understand as some of these sets
