1982-D Official US Mint Souvenir Set with Envelope.

The 1982 U.S. Mint Souvenir Set is one of the most sought-after modern U.S. Mint issues due to its unique place in numismatic history. In 1982, the United States Mint did not produce its traditional Uncirculated Mint Set, making the official Souvenir Sets sold at Mint facilities one of the few government-issued sources for high-quality business-strike coins from that year. Each Souvenir Set contains carefully selected Brilliant Uncirculated examples struck at a single U.S. Mint facility and packaged in an attractive official Mint folder created exclusively for visitors. Because relatively few were produced and many were opened or spent over the years, intact original sets have become increasingly desirable among collectors. The 1982 Souvenir Set is particularly important for collectors assembling complete modern Mint Set collections, as it helps fill the gap left by the absence of an official annual Mint Set. Combining historical significance, limited availability, and original U.S. Mint presentation, the 1982 Souvenir Set has become a standout collectible and an essential addition to any serious collection of modern United States coinage. With an official mintage of 3,857,479, the 1982 Proof Set represents an important transitional year in modern U.S. numismatics, bridging the conclusion of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar's initial production run and the continuation of the traditional annual Proof Set format. Its outstanding craftsmanship, historical significance, and enduring collector appeal make the 1982 Proof Set an excellent addition to any modern U.S. coin collection.
