1962 United States Mint Set – Uncirculated Coins from Philadelphia & Denver

The 1962 United States Mint Set features uncirculated examples of every circulating coin struck by both the Philadelphia and Denver Mint facilities during the year. Packaged in its Original Government Packaging (OGP), this release is notable because 1962 marked a change in the envelope color, shifting from the earlier yellow-tinted style to a brighter, more neutral envelope tone that collectors can immediately recognize. With a total of 385,285 official Mint Sets issued, this year represents one of the higher-mintage sets of the pre–Kennedy Half Dollar era.

This vintage set includes the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and the popular Franklin Half Dollar from each mint. Collectors value the 1962 issue as one of the final opportunities to obtain the Franklin Half Dollar in its original U.S. Mint presentation, making it a meaningful addition for those assembling series-complete Franklin collections. All coins are preserved in typical uncirculated condition, with natural mid-century luster clearly visible through the intact cellophane packaging.

As with other early Mint Sets, the 1962 release includes separate cello panels for each mint, allowing collectors to easily evaluate luster, strike details, and mintmarks. Whether you are completing a run of vintage Mint Sets or specifically collecting the final years of the Franklin Half Dollar series, the 1962 Mint Set offers historical appeal, strong collector relevance, and a distinctive year of packaging transition.
