Birth Set 2021
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 United States Mint Birth Set is an ideal gift for the arrival of a baby in 2021. It includes five proof coins shining brilliantly through their encasement—each from the San Francisco Mint. They are:
- Kennedy half dollar
- Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site Quarter (last in the America the Beautiful Quarters series)
- Roosevelt dime
- Jefferson nickel
- Lincoln penny
The presentation folder includes space to provide your personal message and a place for the baby’s vital statistics—the date, time of birth, length, and weight. A photo frame area (for a 3” x 5” photo) is provided to show off that new bundle of joy. The Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the back cover, and coin specifications are on the sleeve.
United States 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.
The United States Mint Birth Set is a unique and precious gift that will capture that special moment in time.
