cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2270 Posts	Posted 07/19/2009 8:28 pm Probably it was mostly because it was inconvenient. It's ironic that by the time they were ready to put them in mint sets in 1973 that they weren't needed for commerce. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 07/19/2009 9:03 pm There hadn't been a Dollar coin minted for 50 years, they probably figured that they could make more money selling it single. This way they could charge their surcharge on tne mint sets and the Ike if the collector wanted it. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/25/2009 11:07 am Well for the 1971 sets I believe they came out before the Ike dollar was ready for release for circulation. As for the 1972 they probably didn't allow enough lead time to to permit the preparation of the heat sealing die. (although you would think that they would have thought of that back in early 1971). It may also simply have been that they had to wait until their current contract with the form that made up the mint sets expired before they could make a change in the set content and layout.
