1963 US Proof Set - OGP - The Last Franklin Set FAQ

A 1963 US Proof Set is a collection of specially minted coins produced by the United States Mint for collectors. These sets typically include one example of each denomination issued for circulation that year, struck with a high-quality proof finish.

"OGP" stands for Original Government Packaging. It refers to the packaging in which coins were originally issued by the mint. For the 1963 US Proof Set, OGP would include the original packaging materials such as the envelope or case provided by the United States Mint.

The 1963 US Proof Set is sometimes called "The Last Franklin Set" because it was the final year that the half dollar coin featured a design featuring Benjamin Franklin on the obverse (front) side. In 1964, the design was changed to feature John F. Kennedy after his assassination.

The 1963 US Proof Set typically includes one example each of the following coins: Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, and Franklin half dollar.

The 1963 US Proof Set is slightly rarer compared to other Franklin Proof Sets. However, its value can vary based on factors such as condition, mint marks, and the presence of original packaging (OGP).
