Single Proof coins were available from the Mint, at a premium over their face value, in the years in which they were minted. In 1936 the Mint started offering Proof coins in complete sets, cent, nickel, dime, quarter and half dollar. These sets originally sold for $1.87 each. In 1942 there were some Proof sets issued with two nickels. The regular composition as well as the silver.
They are the normal coins intended for circulation. Coins that are struck as Proof only issue are not included. Beginning in 2005 the US Mint started minting Uncirculated Mint Sets with a satin finish for the look and to provide consistency. It also helps collectors differentiate between Uncirculated Coins and US Mint Uncirculated Coin Sets. For earlier mint sets please contact our coin department. *In 1965, 1966 and 1967 the Mint issued Special Mint Sets (SMS) as a substitute for proof sets.
