Due to the sporadic nature of the mint's activities in the early years, many of the mints sets from this period are quite small. 1814 is among them as no Half Cents, Half Dimes, Quarters or Dollar coins were struck. For the copper and silver portion, only the Cent, Dime and Half Dollar were coined, and all are fairly common dates for their respective series. A very completable set with only a modest effort.
