What Do US Mint Proof Sets have in Common?

Regardless of the specific type of US Mint Proof Set you are looking at online at Provident Metals, there is one factor that all sets will have in common. The coins included in a US Mint Proof Set have been struck with proof quality. That means you will notice frosted, raised design elements set against mirror-like background fields.

What Sets Various US Mint Proof Sets Apart?

While all US Mint Proof Sets have the aforementioned factor in common, there are a number of other factors that set them apart. One of the most notable factors is the variety of coins included within. The most common coins to feature in US Mint Proof Sets are the circulation denominations the US Mint issues each year. As of 2021, this consists of the following coins:

• Lincoln Penny
• Jefferson Nickel
• Roosevelt Dime
• Washington Quarter
• Kennedy Half Dollar
• Sacagawea Dollar

Depending on the date mark of a particular US Mint Proof Set, you may also find US Quarters from the America the Beautiful Series with the five individual designs released in the companion ATB silver bullion series. Different types of coins will be housed in plastic holders together. For example, the six denominations mentioned above would be housed together in a plastic holder, with a separate plastic holder for ATB Silver Quarters. The two holders would be shipped together inside of themed shipping sleeves and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Please note that different date marks will come with different varieties of coins available. It is important to give a thorough read to the individual product descriptions of a particular set to see exactly which coins are available in a given set, with a given date.

Do Any US Mint Proof Sets Have Precious Metals Content?

Yes! Some of the US Mint Proof Sets come with silver content in select coins. When you are browsing US Mint Proof Sets, any listing marked US Mint Proof Silver Set will include precious metals content in some of the coins. In the case of US Mint Proof Silver Sets, there is silver content in the proof dime, quarter, and half dollar. Up until 2018, the silver content of those coins was 90% silver against 10% copper. Starting in 2019, the silver content was increased to .999 pure silver.
