The 2001 U.S. Mint Silver Proof Set commemorates the history of our nation. These coins are extraordinarily brilliant with sharp relief and mirror-like surface. They feature frosted sculpted foregrounds created by the exacting proofing process.
The 10-coin set includes the Golden Dollar, the Kennedy half-dollar, the Roosevelt dime, the Jefferson nickel, the Lincoln penny and the five 2001 Quarters in the 50 State Quarters Program:
- New York
- North Carolina
- Rhode Island
- Vermont
- Kentucky
Each coin is struck multiple times with specially polished dies and is carefully inspected for exacting quality and detail. The Roosevelt dime, Kennedy half-dollar and each of the 50 State Quarters are struck in 90% silver, generally referred to as ôcoin silver.ö These untouched, coins are then packaged in presentation cases to preserve their exceptional finish. They are the ultimate expression of the minterÆs art.
