One each of the United States Mint Proof Sets for the years 1960 - 2009.
The annual Proof Set has been a long time favorite for coin collectors. It provides a simple and affordable way to collect an example of each coin issued by the US Mint for the year in high quality proof condition.
Proof coinage is created through a special process which creates brilliant coins with sharp relief. In general, the process involves polishing the blanks used in production and striking them multiple times with specially polished dies. Most modern proof coins exhibit cameo features. The raised elements of the coin design appear frosted, while the background fields appear mirrored. For early proof coins, this type of finish is less common or scarce, making cameo and deep cameo examples highly desirable.
Note: Proof sets were not minted for 1965 - 1967. In response to a nationwide shortage of coinage, the Treasury Department did not produce proof sets for collectors. In their place, so-called Special Mint Sets (Not included) were issued featuring examples of each denomination carrying a finish superior to the standard circulation strikes, but not up the quality of proof coinage.
