Us Mint Set Appraisal

United States Mint Proof Set

This item is a United States Mint Proof Set, comprising five proof coins encased in a clear rigid plastic holder. The coins appear to be a dime (Roosevelt), a nickel (Jefferson), a penny (Lincoln), a quarter (Washington), and a half dollar (Kennedy). The coins are arranged on a blue card with white stars and stripes patterned on one side, mimicking the American flag, which also displays the text 'UNITED STATES MINT PROOF SET®' in white lettering. Below the text and between the quarter and half dollar, there is a circular logo, likely the US Mint FDC/Seal. The coins exhibit a highly reflective, mirror-like finish characteristic of proof coinage, suggesting they are in uncirculated condition with sharp details and frosted devices. No obvious signs of wear, scratches, or damage are visible on the coins or their protective casing, indicating excellent preservation. The plastic case is transparent, allowing clear viewing of both sides of the coins, though only the obverse is visible in the image. The rigid plastic construction is designed to protect the coins from environmental damage and handling. While the specific year is not clearly discernible from the image, the presence of the Kennedy half dollar and Washington quarter suggests a modern proof set from 1964 or later. The name 'Frederick Diaz Sanchez' noted on the back might indicate the original owner or recipient. The meticulous detail and pristine condition of the coins signify a high standard of minting craftsmanship, typical of official proof sets intended for collectors. The set's aesthetic appeal is enhanced by the thematic blue background and overall professional presentation.
