U.S.  Proof  Sets

While coins in Uncirculated Mint sets are little or no different from those struck for circulation, Proof coins are a special breed. A Proof coin is struck on specially prepared planchets, using special minting techniques, generally on a specialized coining press. The term "Proof" means different things to many collectors, dealers and other hobbyists. Some believe Proof is the top level of preservation, or grade - it is not. Others believe Proof coins are particularly shiny coins destined for collectors rather than circulation - they are only partly correct.

"Proof" in numismatics refers to a special manufacturing process designed to result in coins of the highest quality produced especially for collectors. "Proof" is not a grade, as many beginning collectors think, although grading services, dealers and collectors may assign Proof coins numerical grades such as Proof 63 or Proof 65.

Most of the Proof coins sold by the United States Mint today are Frosted Proofs. The flat fields are mirror-like, reflective and shiny. The frosting refers to the white, textured, non-reflective finish found on the raised devices, lettering and other points in relief. Both the frosted and mirror finishes are the results of the special techniques used in preparing the dies.

No Proof sets were struck in 1965 to 1967 because of the massive coin shortage haunting the nation. As noted earlier, Special Mint sets were sold in place of the Proof and Uncirculated Mint sets normally offered.  Proof set production resumed in 1968, but at a new location. Prior to 1968, most Proof coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. All earlier Branch Mint Proof coins were and are rare. Production was moved to the San Francisco Assay Office (the San Francisco Mint became an Assay Office in 1962, and a Mint again in 1988), and the S Mint mark was added to the coins. The coins were housed in a hard-plastic holder.
