Enjoy proof sets that are considered to be the finest examples of U.S. coinage available. Proof coins are struck from specially selected and polished planchets (coin blanks). The dies used to strike these coins are specially prepared as well and highly polished. The planchets are hand fed into the striking press and special care is taken during the handling and packaging of the proof coins. Proof coins are struck twice to ensure an increased sharpness in detail. The coins also exhibit a mirror finish because of the polished die and planchet.
The 2000 10-coin Silver Proof Set includes the proof Golden Dollar plus the year 2000 silver proof quarters in the 50 State Quarters Program. The set also includes the Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, and Kennedy half-dollar. The dime, half-dollar, and each of the 50 State Quarters Program coins in this set are struck in 90% silver, generally referred to as "coin silver."
The 2000 quarters honor Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Virginia.
