The dime, half-dollar, and each of the 50 Statehood quarters in this set are struck in 90% silver, generally referred to as ôcoin silver.ö To achieve their striking beauty, coin blanks are fed into presses fitted with highly polished dies. Then, each coin is struck at least twice to ensure fine detail. The result is a frosted image that appears on a mirrored background.
