1972-PDS Mint Set
The 1972-PDS Mint Set had a then-record mintage of 2,750,000 sets. (Doesn't this nearly perfectly rounded number seem awfully suspicious? Did the Treasury actually produce and sell exactly two and three-quarter million sets when, in every other year except 1959 and 1979, the figure was some unusually odd, yet precise, number?)
About the sets: The coins in the 1972-PDS Mint Sets were Uncirculated pieces pulled from regular production runs, thus the quality of the individual coins varies widely from set to set, and even within a set.
The 1972-PDS Mint Set contained eleven coins, including the following:
1972-PDS Mint Set | Cent | Nickel | Dime | Quarter | Half Dollar | One Dollar (Copper-Nickel Clad) |
Philadelphia | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Denver | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
San Francisco | 1 | - | - | - | - | - |
Mintage: 2,750,000 sets
No Eisenhower Dollars were included in the official 1972-PDS Mint Sets; instead, the regular strikes were released directly into circulation. 40% Silver Clad versions of the 1972-S Eisenhower Dollar were sold individually to collectors at a premium (known as "Blue Ikes"). The coins were sealed in a flat pliofilm pack and placed in a glossy blue envelope.
Original packaging: The coins in the 1972-PDS Mint Set were sealed in two pliofilm flat packs: the D-Mint coins were placed together in one of the packs, and the P- and S-Mint coins were placed together in another. A disk identifying the Denver Mint was included along with the D-Mint coins. The pack containing the D-Mint coins was edged in red; the pack containing the P- and S-Mint coins was edged in blue. The two pliofilm packs and two pieces of thin cardboard (for protection) were sealed in an officially inscribed, white mailing envelope.
