United States Mint Announces Sale of 2002 United States Mint
Uncirculated Coin Set
Back to the U.S. Mint Press Release List
WASHINGTON – The United States Mint announced today that it will
begin selling the 2002 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set by mail on
June 12, and online at www.USMINT.gov
on June 12 at noon (Eastern Time).
“The Uncirculated Coin Set is important to new collectors just
starting out and experienced collectors, who will both want this important
set,” said United States Mint Director Henrietta Holsman Fore. The set
will again feature uncirculated ‘P’ and ‘D’ mint mark Golden
Dollars.
Each 20-coin 2002 Uncirculated Coin Set includes two of each
circulating U.S. coins, bearing the Philadelphia ‘P’ and Denver ‘D’
mint mark: the Lincoln cent, the Jefferson nickel, the Roosevelt dime, the
Kennedy half-dollar, and the Golden Dollar featuring Sacagawea.
The set also includes the five 50 State Quarters scheduled for release
in 2002—Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, and Mississippi. This set
is an opportunity to have all five 2002 quarters at once—in uncirculated
condition—with the latest states included even before they are released
into general circulation. Each set is packaged in Mylar and includes a
certificate of authenticity from the United States Mint.
“The 2002 Uncirculated Coin Set is selling this year for the same low
price as last year--$14.95,” said David Pickens, Associate Director for
Sales and Marketing at the United States Mint. “This is quite a value,
as the set once again features two additional Golden Dollar coins.”
In addition, you will find information on the 50 State Quarters &
Euro Coin Collection. This is an exciting new collection of all 12
participating Euro countries’ one-Euro coins, and the five uncirculated
50 State Quarters for 2002. Limited production of 100,000 sets makes this
