1965 S US Proof Set State In original packaging from mint State quarters Proof

Description

In 1964 just when the mint was removing 90% silver coins from circulation and the U.S. was having a coin shortage the Mint announced that beginning in 1965 no Proof Sets or Mint Sets would be produced Instead they would be making a Special Mint Set. Special Mint Set coins were not proofs and were not uncirculated Mint State pieces. Dies for the coins were over polished while the planchet themselves were not polished. The resulting SMS coins have a brilliant proof like appearance much nicer than the run of the mill circulation coins. In 1965 these sets were released in the Traditional Mint Cellophane and White Envelope. Note each set contains a 40% silver Half Dollar. All proof sets are pre owned and will have slight blemishes in the envelopes. We make sure they are close to the photos you see.
