2015 San Francisco Mint (S) 14 Piece (pc) Silver Proof Set

This set contains 14 coins in proof quality, encased in three clear plastic lenses and newly designed packaging. The 2015 dated quarters, half-dollar and dime are struck in 90% silver.

United States Mint proof coins feature sharp relief and a mirror-like background. Their frosted, sculpted foregrounds give them a special cameo effect. Proof blanks are specially treated, polished, and cleaned to ensure high quality strikes. The blanks are then fed into presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice to ensure sharp relief. The coins are then packaged in a protective lens to showcase and maintain their exceptional finish.

The 2015 edition of the United States Mint Silver Proof Set features:
The set contains the sixth annual release of five quarters from the America the Beautiful Quarters series (Homestead National Monument of American in Nebraska, Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana, Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware and Saratoga National Historical Park in New York), the ninth annual release of four coins from the Presidential Dollar Coin program (Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson), a Native American $1 Coin (Sacagawea/Native American $1), a Kennedy half-dollar, a Roosevelt dime, a Jefferson nickel and a Lincoln penny.

Each coin in the Presidential $1 Coin Program has a common reverse design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty.
