You should get two packets of coins mint sealed in special protective packaging, one with blue border from the Philadelphia mint and one with red border from the Denver mint. The only exception is the special mint sets of 1965, 1966 and 1967 in which the mints didn't put their mint marks on the coins so you only get one coin of each denomination. Currently circulating coins, Penny, Nickel, Dime, Quarter and Half Dollar. If you look at the coins in your pocket you can see they all have little bumps and scratches and most are worn and ugly looking.

Collectors pay a premium over face value because, although an Uncirculated coin might have some bag marks it hasn't been handled, it's the best it can be for a regular-issue coin.
