1964 United States Mint Set – Uncirculated Coins from Philadelphia & Denver

The 1964 United States Mint Set features uncirculated examples of every circulating coin produced by both the Philadelphia and Denver Mint facilities for this highly transitional year in American coinage. Packaged in its Original Government Packaging (OGP) with intact cellophane sleeves, this official Mint Set reflects the last full year of 90% silver circulating coinage and the historic debut of the Kennedy Half Dollar. The U.S. Mint issued a total of 1,008,108 official Mint Sets in 1964, marking one of the most widely collected releases of the early Mint Set era.

The centerpiece of the set is the first-year 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, created as a national tribute following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This is the only year the Kennedy Half was struck in 90% silver, making it especially desirable to collectors. In addition to the half dollar, the set includes uncirculated examples of the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, and Washington Quarter from both mint facilities — all struck in the final year of traditional 90% silver dimes, quarters, and halves before the transition to clad coinage in 1965.

With each mint’s coins sealed in separate cello panels and preserved in typical uncirculated condition, the 1964 Mint Set stands out for its historical importance, silver content, and strong collector appeal. For those building a complete run of Mint Sets or focusing on milestone years in modern U.S. coinage, this set is an essential addition representing one of the most significant turning points in American numismatic history.
