add: In this year 3 (7) Type I bicentennial sets were made without mint-mark. One set exhibited under armed guard at 1974 ANA (Bal Harbour, FL). Two others were given to President Ford and his appointment secretary. Reportedly all were subsequently destroyed, not even one kept for the Smithsonian Institution: such has been the mint's fear of creating rarities for collectors. |
