1964 Proof Set

The 1964 Proof set offers a unique chance to own a piece of history, and it stands out for several reasons. First, it marks the final year the U.S. Mint produced 90% silver dimes, quarters and half dollars for circulation. Beginning in 1965, those coins were made from a copper-nickel cladding. The 1964 coin Proof set was also the last produced until 1968, as Proof Sets were replaced by "Special Mint Sets" from 1965-1967. Finally, 1964 Mint Proof sets were the first to include the new Kennedy half dollar, introduced the year after President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963.

Each 1964 Proof Set includes the Lincoln cent and Jefferson nickel. Plus the Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter and prized first-year 1964 Kennedy half dollar – each minted in 90% silver. And each Proof is made from specially polished blanks and struck at least twice under greater pressure. The resulting coins feature spectacular mirrorlike finishes and extra sharp details, making it easy to see why Proofs are considered the "best of the best." It's a stunning set that deserves a place in any collection. Order yours from Littleton Coin today, backed by our 45-day Money Back Guarantee of Satisfaction!
