United States Mint 50 State Quarters Proof Set

This item is a 5-coin United States Mint Proof Set from the 50 State Quarters Program, issued between 1999 and 2008. The set is housed in its original rigid clear plastic protective lens with a deep blue decorative insert featuring the '50 State Quarters' logo. Each coin is a Washington Quarter featuring a frosted cameo finish on the raised relief elements against highly polished, mirror-like fields, which is characteristic of modern proof strikes. The obverse of each coin displays the portrait of George Washington, along with 'United States of America', 'Liberty', 'In God We Trust', and the 'S' mint mark indicating production at the San Francisco Mint. The construction consists of a copper-nickel clad composition unless specifically designated as the silver version. The visible condition appears to be 'Gem Proof,' with no significant milk spots, oxidation, or clouding visible through the plastic. The case shows minor surface scuffing but remains securely sealed, preserving the coins in their original state. The craftsmanship is of high numismatic quality, intended for collectors rather than circulation, reflecting the precision of the United States Mint during this specific commemorative era.
