The Mint Set for 1825 is a nice, well balanced set with five coins. The Half Cent returned after a 14-year hiatus but the fairly low mintage makes this a slightly better date, especially in higher grade. Likewise, the Cent, Dime and Quarter are also slightly scarcer than the most common dates, but are by no means rare. The Half is common. This is a well rounded set that illustrates the period well and would be a most worthy undertaking.
