Hello Everyone,

I have a 1990 us mint uncirculated coin set. In the Philadelphia portion of this set has a Philadelphia mint medallion. see photos.

1990-US-Mint-Set

1990-US-Mint-Set

Is this a genuine US Mint set and medal and if so does anyone have any information as to why this medal was included in this set.

It's a souvenir set. I think you had to go to the mint to get one.

I believe he's correct. Souvenir sets are quite common and even I picked some up 82 sets at the Philadelphia Mint once (thought they'd be worth a fortune LOL). The quickest read is the Red Book. Just refer to the Red Book's, souvenir sets in the Un-circulated sets section. It'll also describe how to value the set.

The good news is the '90-P souvenir sets is one of the tougher ones.

The bad news is the quality of the souvenir sets tends to be a lot lower than the regular mint set and you have only half of a regular mint set.

In my opinion you're slightly ahead.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
