In 1982 and 1983, the U.S. Mint did not officially produce mint sets. Mint sets contain uncirculated coins and are the usual source for mint-quality examples of modern coins.
Another issue confronting the collector of uncirculated 1982 and 1983 coins is the relative lack of original uncirculated coins.
With relatively few original rolls of 1982 and 1983 coins available, no 1982 or 1983 mint sets assembled, and so many collectors trying to get a hold of these coins, prices have been driven upwards.
