1966 United States Special Mint Set, With Box, 40% Silver Half

Description

For sale is a 1966 Special Mint Set.  In the mid-1960's there were no proof sets, so the mint created a special mint set in lieu of the proof set.  The set has five coins from 1966 with the Kennedy half dollar made of 40% silver.  As you can see in the pictures, there is a bit of toning on the edge of the 40% silver half, this is normal for older silver or part silver coins.  I have five of these sets, some have no toning at all.  The set includes the dark blue box seen in the pictures.  This makes a great gift for someone born in 1966 or has a special day in 1966.  In addition, since the Kennedy half dollar is 40% silver, it's a great way to make a small investment in the value of silver.
