1961 United States Mint Set – Uncirculated Coins from Philadelphia & Denver

The 1961 United States Mint Set contains uncirculated examples of every circulating coin struck that year by both the Philadelphia and Denver Mint facilities. Presented in its Original Government Packaging (OGP) with intact cellophane sleeves, this vintage set offers collectors a clean and fully authentic representation of early 1960s U.S. coinage. A total of 223,704 official Mint Sets were issued in 1961, reflecting the continued growth of hobby interest during this pre–Kennedy Half Dollar era.

This set includes uncirculated strikes of the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and the beloved Franklin Half Dollar—the second-to-last year of the series before its historic 1963 conclusion. Collectors appreciate the 1961 release for its strong mid-century designs and for showcasing both mintmarks across all denominations. With all coins preserved in typical uncirculated condition and clearly visible through the original cello packaging, the set offers excellent eye appeal for collectors seeking original U.S. Mint quality.

As part of the early Mint Set program, coins are separated by mint in two clear panels, allowing for easy appreciation of luster, strike, and detail. Whether you are building a complete run of vintage Mint Sets or focusing on the later years of the Franklin Half Dollar series, the 1961 Mint Set is a worthy addition to any expanding U.S. coin collection.
