So, About That 1966 Proof Set… Let's get down to brass tacks. This isn't just any 1966 Proof Set. This is a beautifully preserved, original set, still in its original US Mint packaging. For those who aren't super familiar with coin collecting terms, "proof" coins are special. They’re struck using polished dies and planchets, and handled with extra care. This results in a mirror-like finish and incredible detail. Think of it like the difference between a mass-produced photo and a professionally developed, high-quality print. They aren’t meant for circulation; they’re collector’s items from the get-go. The 1966 set includes all five coins of the standard 1966 US coin denominations: the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Kennedy Half Dollar. Each coin is in stunning condition, showing minimal, if any, handling marks. The original packaging is also in remarkably good shape, adding to the set’s overall appeal. Why is 1966 Special? 1966 was a pivotal year in US coinage. It was the last year the US Mint produced silver coinage for general circulation. While the silver content had been decreasing for a few years, 1966 coins still contain 40% silver. The following year, 1967, saw the introduction of clad coinage – coins made with layers of copper and nickel. This made 1966 silver coinage something of a turning point, and collectors often view these sets with particular interest. Furthermore, 1966 proof sets weren’t made in massive quantities. While production numbers weren't tiny, they weren't nearly as large as in some other years, which makes finding well-preserved sets like this one more challenging. What Makes This Set Stand Out? We've seen a lot of 1966 proof sets over the years, and this one really shines. Here’s what sets it apart: Exceptional Preservation: The coins are incredibly clean and show minimal signs of wear or toning. Original Packaging: The set comes in the original US Mint holder, which is in great condition. This protects the coins and adds to their collectible value. Deep Mirror Proof Finish: The mirror-like finish on the coins is stunning, reflecting light beautifully. You can really see the craftsmanship. Complete Set: It includes all five denominations, making it a complete and desirable set for any collector. Who Should Buy This? This 1966 Proof Set is perfect for: Established Coin Collectors: A great addition to any US coin collection, filling a gap or upgrading an existing set. New Collectors: A fantastic way to start a collection of classic US coins. History Buffs: A tangible piece of American history, representing a significant year in coinage.
