Are there any mint sets 1968 - date with good varieties to look for?

RichieURich

And if so, what varieties might they be?

The 1968 set has a doubled die dime.

Sure.

There are lots of varieties in the mint sets. They pale in comparison to
the number that never appeared in sets but they are numerous. These
are much better checked than the circulation issues so relatively few es-
cape detection in the sets.

My personal favorites are the '70-S sm dt cent, '70-S/S cent, '68 DDO dime,
'70-D DDR dime, '69-D/D dime, '67 DDO quarter, '81 sm motto quarter, '65
RR 50c, '66 No Init 50c, '74-D DDO 50c, '88-P RR 50c.

There are lots of others as well.

Here is an idea if the incidence for most of these.

There's the big kahuna - 1968-S DDO Lincoln.

That's the Big One Russ?

I thought it was the 1969-S DDO.

There is also a 1974-D DDO Kennedy Half in some of the 1974 Mint Sets.

2005 has the DDR Minnesota Extra Tree D coin which brings a lot more than a non-extra tree coin of the same grade.

Idiot keyboard manufacturers put the 8 right next to the 9.

That reminds me, there's also the 1972 DDO Lincoln.

Of course neither the '69 nor '72 DDO's appear in the mint sets.

Few dies are used to make the sets so most of the varietie dies just weren't used to make them.

Ah crap. You mean I've been searching sets for nothing?

Rich-

The only one I know of in the '68 set is the DDO dime. Look at the motto and LIBERTY-it has a moderate CCW spread and is a fairly nice Class V doubled die. Not too difficult to find either.
