In 1975 the US Mint released its annual proof set containing the six major coins in circulation. However, one major difference between this set and the others was that the dollar, half-dollar, and quarter all featured the bicentennial designs. This was because, in 1975, the US Mint did not produce the standard version of these coins, instead reserving all resources for the special 200th-anniversaryeditions. Today, you have the chance to buy 1975 US Mint Proof Sets online at Provident Metals.

History

The modern US Mint Proof Set was first issued in 1936. The set has seen many variations over the years, including San Francisco sets, limited edition sets featuring a Silver Eagle, and Prestige Sets containing a commemorative dollar. The 1975 set is also unique in that the quarter, half-dollar, and dollar all contain the Bicentennial designs, which were created in celebration of the 200^th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
