Mintage Limit is the total number of a coin manufactured across all products. (For example, a coin may be available in rolls and in our annual sets).

Product Limit is the number of a coin made available in the individual product.

Household Order Limit In cases where we have limited-mintage products (e.g., legislatively mandated or Mint established production or mintage limits), the United States Mint may impose order or household order limits. Order limits help us ensure that we provide fair purchase opportunities to the broadest audience possible. As we monitor our products, limits may be implemented, adjusted, or removed at our discretion.

The 2017 Birth Set makes an ideal gift for the arrival of a baby in 2017. Issued by the U.S. Mint, this set includes the proof coins listed below. Each coin bears the “S” mint mark and was produced at the San Francisco Mint:

  • John F. Kennedy half dollar
  • Effigy Mounds National Monument quarter from the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program
  • Franklin D. Roosevelt dime
  • Thomas Jefferson nickel
  • Abraham Lincoln penny

The presentation folder includes space to provide your personalized message and a place for the baby’s vital statistics–the date and time of birth, length, and weight. There is also a photo frame area to hold a 3” x 5” photo (not included). A Certificate of Authenticity is located on the back of the folder, and coin specifications are printed on the sleeve.

This is the sixth year the Birth Set has been issued by the U.S. Mint.

U.S. Mint proof coins feature sharp relief and a mirror–like background. Their frosted, sculpted foregrounds give them a special cameo effect. Proof blanks are specially treated, polished, and cleaned to ensure high–quality strikes. The blanks are then fed into presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice to ensure sharp relief.
