- The United States Mint used to accept orders through the mail, but that ordering option was discontinued in September 2017. Mint usually sells only current coins and coin sets, although you can often find the previous year's coins and sets for sale, too.
- Precious Metal Coins from the United States Mint. Among the three major mints in North America, the United States Mint coins the highest volume of gold and silver coinage. The products from the United States Mint are known to investors and collectors around the world, and each series boasts designs that include images proudly displaying figures such as Lady Liberty and the American bald ea.
The maximum mintage is the lowest since 1959, when 187,000 Uncirculated Coin sets were issued and silver was still part of the alloy for all coins except the Lincoln cent and Jefferson 5-cent coin.
The set will be priced at $25.25.
Mint officials were asked Oct. 8 whether trial strikes had been produced (the Mint early in 2020, released photographs of the coin). As of Oct. 9, no answers had been received.
According to an Oct. 6 U.S. Mint press release, “Due to the effects of COVID-19 at the Mint’s manufacturing facilities, this set has a limited production quantity of 213,000. In addition, we are not able to include the premium West Point nickel with an uncirculated finish as previously planned. This change was necessary to free up manufacturing resources for other legislatively-mandated products that will be released for sale in 2020.”
The 20-coin 2020 Uncirculated Coin set will include, from the Denver and Philadelphia Mints each, one Lincoln cent, Jefferson 5-cent coin, and Roosevelt dime, five America the Beautiful quarter dollars, a Kennedy half dollar and a Native American dollar.

Continuation
The Us Mint For Kids
The 2020-W 5-cent coin program is a continuation of a similar program by the Mint in 2019. The United States Mint produced 2019-W Lincoln cents in three different finishes and used them as premiums for annual sets.

A standard Proof 2019-W Lincoln cent was included separately “in clear United States Mint plastic wrap” with the standard 2019-S Proof set. The 2019-S Silver Proof set was accompanied by, as a premium in separate packaging, an 11th coin, a Reverse Proof 2019-W Lincoln cent. The 2019 Uncirculated Mint set, which also includes 10 coins each from the Denver and Philadelphia Mints, had, as its premium, the 21st coin in the set, a 2019-W Lincoln cent with Uncirculated finish.
