In the early 1960s, the production of proof coins and annual proof sets shifted from the Philadelphia Mint to the San Francisco Mint. To make up for the lack of proof set during the transition, the U.S. Mint introduced a new Special Mint Set from 1965 to 1967 to cater to collectors. These coins boast a distinct finish, with polished dies and blanks that resulted in a superior finish that is somewhere in between uncirculated and proof. Each Special Mint Set included a Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Kennedy Half Dollar.
