I strayed from my usual collections on this blog. While looking at the mints upcoming offerings I ran into this unique set. It is the Breast Cancer Awareness Coin and Stamp Set. A new idea for our mint in that the coin comes with a regular issue USA stamp. I am not sure why but this set spoke to me. I’m not a huge fan of modern commemoratives, especially clad, but I wanted it. Since I bought it I decided to take advantage of the special offer NGC had for this set. They would grade and slab the coin and stamp as a set. This is the first time they have done stamps in the USA. The stamp is graded under their ASG arm of the company. Every other stamp has been done out of their Singapore office. So this is a first for them.
