Coming Soon: 2021 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set

The U.S. Mint will release their annual 2021 Uncirculated Coin Set in the Spring of 2021. This set has roots going WAY back and used to be simply called “the Mint Set,” which is not to be confused with “the Proof Set” (which shouldn’t be confused with “the Silver Proof Set”). This set has traditionally included coins struck at both the Philadelphia Branch and Denver Branch of the U.S. Mint.

A Gateway to American Numismatics

These coin sets are usually one of the ways young collectors begin to understand the different finishes and issues struck by the U.S. Mint. The coins feature mint marks from their respective mints (when appropriate) and can be ideal candidates for inclusion in a date and mint set of American Coinage. These are standard business strike examples that have historically been packaged in Mint-issued, Mint-facility-specific display folders.

Much remains to be seen about what exactly will be included in the 2021 uncirculated sets, as the United States Mint has not yet released this information. This page will be updated with more information as it becomes available, so check back often!

Historically Uncirculated Coin Sets have included two examples of each of the following: the Lincoln cent, the Jefferson nickel, the Roosevelt dime, the Kennedy half dollar, examples of the five America the Beautiful quarters issued in a given year, and dollar coins. One example of each coin is struck in Philadelphia and at Denver.

2021 will be notable because just one America the Beautiful coin will be released in 2021, which will conclude the over ten-year-long series. The 56th and final issue will honor the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, located in Alabama. This page will be updated as the United States Mint releases more detailed information about what will be included in the 2021 Uncirculated Sets.
