1968-1998 Proof Set with Major Varieties

This set includes the complete run of Proof Sets for the final third of the 20th century. It begins with the San Francisco sets housed in hard plastic holders, and ends with the last set prior to the influx of the State Quarters, which began the prolific issue of special series by the U.S. Mint. Silver issues are included beginning in 1992. There are however, several extremely rare varieties, that make completing this particular set next-to-impossible. Heading the list, is the 1975 No "S" Dime, of which only two specimens are known. One sold several years ago for the amazing sum of $350,000. Closely related is the 1968 No "S" dime, of which perhaps a dozen and a half exist. This coin regularly sells at a low to mid five figure price. Most of the other tough varieties are other No "S" strikes, including a cent from 1990, a nickel from 1971 and two additional dimes in 1970 and 1983.

Notes: This set has bonuses. Please see the Set Composition for a listing.
