1965 Special Mint Set in Envelope with COA

The 1965 Special Mint Set is a numismatic collection produced by the United States Mint. It was issued during a period when regular mint sets were not produced due to a coin shortage. The 1965 Special Mint Set includes specially struck coins with a higher quality finish than regular circulation coins, similar to proof coins but without mirrored surfaces. 

This set typically includes the cent, nickel, dime, quarter, and half-dollar denominations. The coins are known for their special stain-like finish. Collectors often seek out these sets due to their limited mintage and unique characteristics.
