Of the five coins included in the 1993 Premier Silver Proof Set, the Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter and Kennedy Half Dollar are 90% silver and 10% copper, the same composition used for these series through the 1964-dated coinage. The Lincoln Cent and Jefferson Nickel in these sets are identical in metallic composition to their counterparts in the regular proof sets and contain no silver. Collectively, the three silver coins contain .61487 ounce of pure silver.
In the regular Silver proof sets, these five coins are sealed inside a hard plastic case with a black cardboard insert. The plastic case was sold and shipped by the Mint inside a black paperboard box. The Premier Silver Proof Sets start with the same plastic holder and black insert. The plastic holder is mounted inside a plush album and held in place with a chrome metallic band around the edge of the plastic holder. The Proof Set is hinged inside the plush album in such a way that it can hook back into the opposite side of the album making a triangular self standing display of the coins.
