1970 United States Mint Set – Featuring the Key 1970-D Kennedy Half Dollar

The 1970 United States Mint Set is one of the most sought-after modern Mint Sets, anchored by the highly collectible 1970-D Kennedy Half Dollar—a coin that was not released into general circulation and is available only through this official Mint Set. Presented in its Original Government Packaging (OGP), this set offers uncirculated examples of every circulating denomination struck by the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. The official mintage for the 1970 Mint Set was 2,038,134 sets.

The standout of this year is the 1970-D 40% Silver Kennedy Half Dollar, the final regular-issue half dollar containing silver and a key date for Kennedy collectors. Along with this important coin, the set includes the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, and Washington Quarter from Philadelphia and Denver, as well as an “S” mintmark Lincoln Cent and Jefferson Nickel from San Francisco. Each coin is preserved in typical uncirculated condition with strong luster visible through the original Mint-issued cello packaging.

Collectors prize the 1970 U.S. Mint Set for its combination of historical significance, limited half dollar release, and the final chapter of 40% silver Kennedy halves. As part of the early 1970s Mint Set series, this issue is essential for anyone building a complete run of Kennedy Half Dollars or assembling a mid-century-to-modern Mint Set collection.
