1978 United States Mint Set – Final Year of the Eisenhower Dollar

The 1978 United States Mint Set includes uncirculated examples of every circulating denomination struck by the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. Packaged in its Original Government Packaging (OGP), this set is historically significant as it contains the final year of the Eisenhower Dollar before the series concluded in preparation for the smaller-sized Susan B. Anthony Dollar released in 1979. The official mintage for the 1978 Mint Set was 2,162,609 sets.

Inside this set, collectors will find uncirculated Lincoln Cents, Jefferson Nickels, Roosevelt Dimes, Washington Quarters, Kennedy Half Dollars, and the last-issue 1978 Eisenhower Dollar from both Philadelphia and Denver. The San Francisco Mint again contributes its “S” mintmark business-strike Jefferson Nickel and Lincoln Cent. All coins display the bright, attractive luster characteristic of late-1970s Mint Set production, preserved within the Mint’s cellophane packaging.

With its multi-mint representation and status as the final appearance of the large-size Ike Dollar in a Mint Set, the 1978 Mint Set is a must-have for collectors completing an Eisenhower Dollar timeline or assembling a full run of modern U.S. Mint Sets. Its historical significance makes it one of the standout issues of the decade.
