United
States Mint Proof Sets are unique gifts for any age, particularly for
babies born in that year! These sets are only produced by the United States Mint, and they
are quite difficult to find outside of the coin-collecting numismatic societies. In
order to create these beautiful proof sets each year, the United States Mint follows a
number of complicated steps. The surface for each coin is brightly polished to a
mirror-like finish before the actual minting process occurs. Then, multiple strikes
are made to bring out the lustrous high-relief which is unique to proof coins. All
of the coins in the proof sets have an unbelievable shine due to this unique
process. The proof sets includes the penny, nickel, dime, quarter and half-dollar,
and they are sealed in an attractive protective plastic case. Get one now for the
years that your children were born, and they will have a treasure to keep for the rest of
their lives!We also have
other interesting and unique United States coins for sale, so be sure to view them as
well!

* The U.S. Mint did not produce any proof coin sets for the years 1965, 1966 and 1967.
Please note: The paper holders for the proof sets (similar to an envelope, which protects the plastic case when not being viewed) listed below varies greatly in condition. As a general statement most of the 199x paper holders are in fairly good shape, many of the 198x paper holders show a fair amount of wear and tear, and the 197x paper holders generally show a lot of wear (after all, they are 20-30 years old!). Because the paper holders are part of the original Mint packaging, and not an integral part of the proof sets, the conditions of individual paper holders will not be listed below.
