2003 United States Mint Silver Proof Set

This Silver Proof set of current United States coinage was produced and packaged at the United States Mint at San Francisco, Califorinia.  Each coin bears the "S" mint mark of that facility.

United States Mint proof coins are produced from carefully selected planchets, or coin blanks, that have been burnished to a high lustre.

The 2003 United States Mint Silver Proof Set features versions of the five 2003-dated 50 State Quarters® coins - honouring Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri, and Arkansas - as well as the Roosevelt dime and Kennedy half-dollar; the set also includes proof versions of the other 2003-dated circulating coins – the Lincoln cent, the Jefferson nickel and the Golden Dollar – a total of ten coins in all.

Each of these beautiful silver proof coins has a distinctive cameo appearance created by the contrast of a finely detailed frosted foreground against a shimmering mirror-like background. Produced at the San Francisco Mint facility, the coins bear the “S” mint mark. The sealed cases containing the coins are inserted into a specially printed sleeve and are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

The coins included in this set are:

5 State Quarters - honouring Illinois, Alabama, Main, Missouri and Arkansas
1 Sacagawea $1 Coin
1 Kennedy half-dollar
1 Roosevelt dime
1 Jefferson nickel
1 Lincoln cent

The coins are packaged in a protective lens to showcase and maintain their exceptional finish.
