Carson City gets itself and denomination set shouldn't New Orleans? And maybe even San Francisco and Denver.

 

I lived in New Orleans for 4 years in the early 80s. I grew to have an affection for the city below sea level. The New Orleans Mint Museum is one of the most un-pretentious and enjoyable museums that I have been to. New Orleans was the first "branch" Mint to coin non-gold coins. It began with a beautiful "no stars" dime. The 1838 New Orleans proof half dollar was likely minted in Philadelphia for at least some of the 8 specimens. Regardless I enjoyed collecting New Orleans mint issues and would love to see competitive sets to go with them. On a side note the New Orleans mint has never officially been removed as a US mint it is simply unfunded.

I have a Morgan Dollar year set called Born on the Bayou and though it isn't specific to New Orleans it is a way to have a set with only New Orleans Mint coins. BTW, I agree with you on New Orleans exclusive sets and for that manner Manila sets.
