Before 1942, uncirculated coins were only available upon request from the U.S. Mint. From 1942 to 1946, the Mint sold coin sets in cloth shipping bags, of which few were saved. Starting in 1947, they began releasing uncirculated coin sets particularly for collectors. These sets, known as U.S. Mint Sets, contained a regular issue coin for each denomination from both the Philadelphia and Denver mints.

U.S. Mint Sets: A Brief History
Mint Sets are specially packaged collections of coins produced by the United States Mint. These sets, produced particularly for collectors, are issued annually and typically include a selection of circulating coins in uncirculated condition.
Uncirculated coin sets are designed to showcase the coins produced by the United States Mint for a particular year. The contents these sets can vary depending on the year of issue, but they typically include one or more examples of each denomination of circulating coins for that year, such as the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, and sometimes dollar coins. The coins in these sets are struck with special care to ensure a brilliant uncirculated finish, with enhanced details and a higher quality compared to regular circulation coins.
These sets are presented in a protective folder or packaging, often accompanied by an informational booklet or a certificate of authenticity. Popular among collectors, they offer a convenient and affordable way to acquire a complete set of uncirculated coins for a given year.
In addition to the standard U.S. Mint Coin Sets, the United States Mint also produces special Proof coins, such as the annual Silver Proof Set and the America the Beautiful Quarters Proof Set. These sets often include unique finishes, designs, or compositions to honor specific themes or events.
Overall, a U.S. Mint Set provides collectors and coin enthusiasts with a comprehensive and well-preserved collection of uncirculated coins produced by the United States Mint for a particular year.
