1825 Mint Set with Gold

The Mint Set for 1825 is a nice, well balanced set with five coins. The Half Cent returned after a 14-year hiatus but the fairly low mintage makes this a slightly better date, especially in higher grade. Likewise, the Cent, Dime and Quarter are also slightly scarcer than the most common dates, but are by no means rare. The Half is common. Of course the gold will naturally be a challenge as the two denominations, the Quarter and Half Eagle, were struck on a weight standard that resulted in them being worth slightly more than face value shortly after their manufacture, and consequently nearly all were melted in the late 1820s and early 1830s.

Notes: This set has bonuses. Please see the Set Composition for a listing.
