Group of 2 United States Mint Set in Original Government Packaging! From 2004-2005 with 44 Coins Inside!. Group of 2 United State Mint Set from 2004-2005 included a total of 44 coins. The scope of the US Mint’s annual coin set expanded starting with the 2004 Mint Set. The number of coins per set rose from 20 to 22 pieces. This year two different designs were issued for the five cent piece, as part of the Westward Journey Nickel series to commemorate the Louisiana Purchase and the exploration of the western territories by explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. The obverse of the 2004 nickels remained the same portrait of Jefferson, while the reverse carried a depiction of the keelboat used in the expedition and a peace medal given to local inhabitants in the territories. For 2004-2005, the reverse designs of the quarters featured Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Remaining coins within the annual uncirculated coin set were the Lincoln Cent, Roosevelt Dime, Kennedy Half Dollar, and Sacagawea Dollar. The 2005 Mint Set was the first year to include coins struck with the so-called “satin finish”. The satin finish is created by sandblasting blanks prior to striking, which results in coins with frosted, less reflective surfaces.
