1975 United States Mint Set in Original Government Packaging. The 1975 Mint Set remains a unique issue during the course of the annual set offering from the United States Mint. It is the only Mint Set that includes coins bearing a date different than the date of the set. This is due to the fact that 1975-dated quarters, half dollars, and dollar coins were not produced. To celebrate America’s upcoming Bicentennial, these denominations would be issued with a new reverse design and the dual date “1776-1976”. In anticipation of high demand for the coins, production began in 1975. Accordingly, the bicentennial coins were included in the 1975 Uncirculated Mint Set. Another unique aspect of this set is that it only includes coins from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. Starting this year, the San Francisco Mint no longer produced coins for circulation bearing the “S” mint mark. The Mint set contain two 1975 Lincoln Cents (P, D), two 1975 Jefferson Nickels (P, D) two 1976 Bicentennial Washington Quarters (P, D), two 1976 Bicentennial Kennedy Half Dollars (P, D), and two 1976 Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollars (P, D) that are Type 1 version. This variety exhibits thicker style lettering on the reverse design.
