1998 United States Mint Set – Final Year Before the Statehood Quarters

The 1998 United States Mint Set features uncirculated examples of every circulating denomination struck by the Philadelphia and Denver Mints for the year. Presented in its Original Government Packaging (OGP), this set represents the final release in the 1993–1998 folder-style packaging era and the last Mint Set issued before the introduction of the Statehood Quarter Program in 1999. The official mintage for the 1998 Mint Set was 1,187,325 sets, according to the official Red Book.

Inside, collectors will find uncirculated Lincoln Cents, Jefferson Nickels, Roosevelt Dimes, Washington Quarters, and 1998 Kennedy Half Dollars from both mints. No circulating dollar coin was produced this year, preserving the five-coin-per-mint structure that defined the decade. Each coin is sealed in the Mint’s protective cellophane, maintaining sharp strike details and bright uncirculated luster.

The 1998 Mint Set holds strong collector appeal as the final “pre-Statehood Quarter” issue and the closing chapter of a consistent packaging style. For collectors completing a full run of modern Mint Sets or building denomination-focused collections, this set serves as a meaningful transition point between two major eras of U.S. coinage.
