Key Set Composition

The 77 slots are individually dated and labeled to account for every circulation strike in the series, plus the most famous varieties:

  1. Date and Mint Mark Set: All {P},{D}, and {S} issues from 1916 through 1945.

  2. Key Dates Included: Slots for the rare 1916-D and the 1921-P and 1921-S issues.

  3. Variety Slot: The "Micro S" and "Micro D" reference means the holder likely includes specific slots for the two major mint mark varieties:

    • 1945-D Micro S: Refers to the 1945 Micro {S} (San Francisco) over {D} error (or simply the 1945 Micro S issue), which had an unusually small mint mark.

    • 1942/41: A slot for the famous 1942/41 Overdate is often included in these complete sets.
