Another key coin from the United States Mint this year is the 2014-D Enhanced Uncirculated Native American $1 Coin within the 2014 American $1Coin and Currency Set.

Priced at $13.95, some collectors commented early that the set was inexpensive yet overpriced since the face value of its contents added up tojust $2.

The enhanced uncirculated finish is VERY noticeable with the coin in hand - especially the reverse. You don't need a loupe to best see the effectslike on the 2014-S Enhanced Uncirculated Kennedy Half-Dollar (see its treatments) from the four-piece 2014 50th Anniversary Kennedy Half-DollarSilver Coin Collection. Here are some additional U.S. Mint-provided details about the enhanced uncirculated dollar:
