U.S. Proof Sets by Year | LoneStar Coin Guide

Modern U.S. proof set sealed lens illustration

How to read this proof set guide

Proof set: Collector-quality proof coins made with polished dies and sold by the U.S. Mint.

Standard set: The regular annual proof set. Silver proof sets are separate products after the regular clad era begins.

Silver grams: Estimated pure silver weight inside the standard set only.

Important gap: 1965–1967 were Special Mint Set years, not standard proof set years.

Packaging: Early sets use box/holder styles, 1955–1964 are commonly flat packs, and later sets use sealed lenses/cases.

Collector note: From 1936–1942 and 1950–1964, standard proof sets included 90% silver dime, quarter, and half dollar. From 1968–1970, the standard set included a 40% silver Kennedy half dollar. Regular standard proof sets after that are generally clad.
