US Mint Set Coin Sale on November 30
Announces 2020 uncirculated Coin Set
Premium nickel Point not included
The 2020 United States Mint (Mint) Uncirculated Coin Set (product code 20RJ) will be available for purchase starting on November 30, at noon (EDT). The set is priced at $25.25. This is the final annual set to be released this year. Due to the effects of COVID-19 at the Mint’s manufacturing facilities, this set has a limited production quantity of 213,000.
In
addition, we are not able to include the premium West Point nickel with an
uncirculated finish as previously planned. This change was necessary to free up
manufacturing resources for other legislatively-mandated products that will be
released for sale in 2020.
The 2020 Uncirculated Set contains two folders with 10 coins each—one with coins from the United States Mint at Philadelphia and the other with coins from the United States Mint at Denver. Each folder has the following uncirculated finish coins:
Five America the Beautiful Quarters® Program coins honoring the National Park of American Samoa, Weir Farm National Historic Site (Connecticut), Salt River Bay National Historic Forest Ecological Preserve (U.S. Virgin Islands), Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park (Vermont), and Tall Grass National Prairie (Kansas).
One Native American $1 Coin with a reverse design depicting Elizabeth Peratrovich, whose advocacy was considered a deciding factor in the passage of the 1945 Anti-Discrimination Law in the Alaskan Territorial Government the foreground features a symbol of the Tlingit Raven moiety, of which she was a member.
Inscriptions are “United States Of America” along the top border, “Elizabeth Peratrovich” across from the portrait, and “Anti-Discrimination Law Of 1945” and “$1” along the bottom border. The obverse design (heads) retains the central figure Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste. Inscriptions are “Liberty” and “In God We Trust.”
The
Mint strikes its uncirculated coins on dedicated presses that use greater force
than those used to produce circulating coins. This technique results in a
sharp, intricately detailed image. A blister secures the coins in a folder.
