2005 U. S. Beginners Basic collecting set

This educational set is for those who are just beginning to explore the world of coin collecting. Coin collecting is a fascinating hobby with a language all its own, and the informative booklet offered with the set provides a helpful introduction to this exciting hobby.

To highlight the coin manufacturing process, this set includes a one-cent planchet, a pair of circulating one-cent coins, a pair of satin-finish uncirculated dimes and a proof-condition half-dollar. This set illustrates many features and finishes found throughout our Nation's coinage. The booklet also briefly discusses the history, design and manufacturing processes that have contributed to more than two centuries of American coinage. $15.00
