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 new 2001 U.S. Mint Silver Proof Set 10-coin set includes the Golden Dollar, the Kennedy half-dollar, the Roosevelt dime, the Jefferson nickel, the Lincoln penny and the five new coins in the 50 State Quarters Program. The Roosevelt dime, Kennedy half-dollar and each of the 50 State Quarters are struck in 90% silver, generally referred to as "coin silver." These untouched, coins are then packaged in presentation cases to preserve their exceptional finish.
These sets come to you in the original government packaging with the Certificate of Authenticity from the U.S. Mint.
