To help alleviate a national coin shortage in the mid-sixties, caused in
part by the popularity of the Kennedy Half Dollar, the U.S.Mint decided not
to strike Proof sets from 1965 to 1967. Instead, it struck "Special Mint
Sets" at the San Francisco Mint, but without the "S" mintmark. These
coins were struck with special care, giving them instant eye appeal. You get
15 carefully struck coins for just $89 – that's less than $6 per coin!
