Product Description
Unlike regular U.S. proof sets, these silver proof sets feature 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, these sets are the only way to obtain these issues in silver. And silver proof set mintages are always far below the regular proof set's production. In 2003, the 10-coin proof set included quarters celebrating Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri and Arkansas. The 11-coin 2004 set includes all five of the 2004 Statehood quarters honoring Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa and Wisconsin and features the Peace Medal and Keelboat nickels. Finest-quality proof minting.
