Product Description
It was the last year when all circulation U.S. dimes, quarters and half dollars were struck with the traditional 90% silver content. And it was the last time the principal Philadelphia Mint issued U.S. proof sets. Included are finest-quality proofs of the cent, nickel, silver dime, silver quarter and silver half dollar (the first Kennedy half dollar proof in 90% silver). Beginning in 1968, all later regular U.S. proof sets were struck by the San Francisco Mint.
