History: The history of US proof sets dates back to the early 19th century. The United States Mint began producing proof coins primarily for presentation and diplomatic gifts, rather than for general circulation.The production of proof sets became more standardized in the 20th century, with the Mint offering annual sets containing proof versions of each denomination minted for that year. Over the years, the design and packaging of proof sets have evolved, reflecting changes in minting technology and collector preferences. Today, US proof sets remain highly popular among numismatists and collectors. They continue to be issued annually, showcasing the nation's coinage in its finest form.
