The Bicentennial Proof Set celebrated the 200th Anniversary of the birth of the United States of America in 1776! This is the kind of release that only happens once in a lifetime. The Mint started assembling Proof sets in 1936. They were introduced to allow collectors to acquire every denomination in presentation purposes, as proof finish coins were not circulated currency.
This proof set contains a Washington Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, and Eisenhower Dollar minted in San Francisco, all with the dates 1776-1976 struck on the obverse. Each coin is clad in 40% silver, a real treat for silver collectors! They are sealed in protective plastic and packaged in patriotic blue mint packaging.
Highlights:
- 200th Anniversary
- Original mint packaging
- Uncirculated condition
