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.
Each 2005 Silver Proof Set includes all these 90% SILVER Gem Proof coins! All the 2005 State Quarters, the Roosevelt Dime, and the Kennedy Half Dollar. Also includes 4 Gem Proof coins: the Lincoln Cent, the Sacagawea Dollar, and 2 Newly designed Jefferson Nickels celebrating America's Westward Journey; the "American Bison" (or Buffalo) and the "Ocean View".
These sets come to you in the original government packaging with the Certificate of Authenticity from the U.S. Mint.
