A mint '73? Sounds like a bridge salesman to me.
And what is meant by "mint"
Al, as I recall, "mint" is different from "uncirculated" in coin lingo. I'm not sure I can describe the difference, but I have a "mint" coin set encased in plastic, and I have some "uncirculated" coins that are wrapped in cellophane (from the mint I think).
I don't know, maybe "mint" means untouched by human hands? Not sure. Maybe I'm wrong about the difference. (and, no, I refuse to Google it )

"Slab - a slang term for an encapsulated coin"I have a "mint" coin set encased in plastic,
Whelp, I stand (sit, type) corrected! So, "mint" is "uncirculated." Makes sense really.
