Unlike regular U.S. proof sets, this 10-coin silver proof set features seven 90% silver issues, including the five statehood quarters, the Roosevelt dime and Kennedy half dollar. Since silver coins have not been minted for circulation since 1964, this set is the only way to obtain these issues in silver. And silver proof set mintages are always far below the regular proof set’s production. Struck by the San Francisco Mint, with finest-quality proof minting, the double-struck engravings have an elegant frosted finish that sets them off against brilliant mirror backgrounds.
