Since this is an informative collection of mint methods, the set includes a blank planchet for cent, 2 ea.business struck cents, 2 ea. Satin Finish (dimes) and then to a single Proof (Kennedy half) one would have to assume that the dimes are the same as the ones issued in the Satin Mint Sets.

To highlight the coin manufacturing process, this set includes a one-cent planchet, a pair of circulating one-cent coins, a pair of satin-finish uncirculated dimes and a proof-condition half-dollar. This set illustrates many features and finishes found throughout our Nation's coinage. The booklet also briefly discusses the history, design and manufacturing processes that have contributed to more than two centuries of American coinage.
