The U.S. Mint began offering uncirculated mint sets for sale to collectors in 1947. In certain years, uncirculated U.S. Mint sets contained coins that were only produced to fill these U.S. Mint sets and were not released for commerce.
Uncirculated coins are struck on special presses using greater force than circulating coins, producing a sharp, intricately detailed image, and feature the satin finish introduced in 2005. The coins are sealed in a blister and displayed in a folder. One folder contains coins bearing the "P" mint mark and the other contains coins bearing the "D" mint mark.
The 2009 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set contains two folders of 18 coins each, one from the United States Mint at Denver and the other from the United States Mint at Philadelphia, for a total of 36 coins. Each folder includes uncirculated versions of the following 2009-dated coins:
- (6) Quarter-dollar coins (honoring the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands)
- (4) Presidential $1 Coins (honoring past Presidents of the United States: William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk and Zachary Taylor)
- (4) Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Coins* (recognizing the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth)
- (1) Native American $1 Coin
- (1) Jefferson nickel
- (1) Roosevelt dime
- (1) Kennedy half-dollar
*Lincoln one-cent coins contain an alloy consisting of 95% copper, 3% zinc and 2% tin that matches the alloy used in the original 1909 version.
