1994 Proof Set 5 Coins

Product Description

As America hurtled toward the millennium at breakneck speed, 1994 saw the birth of the future behemoth, Amazon.com, Richard Nixon died after suffering a stroke, Boston gangster Whitey Bulger went on the lam for what would be the next 16 years, and shock jock Howard Stern announced his run for New York governor. The now-vintage 1994 proof set had a mintage of just 2,308,701, which was the lowest of a generation (1961 through 1994). That's just 56% of the peak 4.1 million mintage of 1976. This finest-quality San Francisco Mint set contains exquisite double-struck proofs of the Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter and Kennedy half dollar. Each beautiful issue features crisp, double-struck engravings and dazzling mirror backgrounds. The custom U.S. Mint case protects and displays both sides of each coin.
