Product Description

Offered here is a decade collection of 1970s United States proof sets issued from 1970-1979. Each set contains 1 Lincoln cent, 1 Jefferson nickel, 1 Roosevelt dime, 1 Washington quarter, and 1 Kennedy half dollar. In addition, the 1973-1978 sets include 1 Eisenhower dollar, and the 1979 set includes 1 Susan B. Anthony dollar. You will receive 10 sets in the original government packaging, one from each of the years 1970-1979, for a total of 57 coins.

Since the early 1800ā€™s, the U.S. Mint has issued special proof coins minted exclusively for collectors. These coins are the finest quality ever produced. The blanks are specially treated, hand-polished, and cleaned before being struck with specially polished dies at least twice to ensure great detail. The resulting coins are of exceptional quality and have deeply mirrored finishes with intricate designs. In 1936, the Mint began assembling proof coins into prepackaged sets. Nearly a century later, these annual coin sets continue to be one of the most popular ways to collect coins. Although the packaging has changed over time, the basic concept remainsā€” each proof set contains one example of every coin minted during a given year.

FAQ
Are the coin sets discolored at all? Is there a COA for each set? What color are boxes or envelopes?

The coins in this set may have light toning consistent with their 40-50 year old age. However, we select the best possible sets and all are considered to be in excellent collector condition.
A COA is provided for each set, for those years that the US mint provided them.
