1983 United States Mint Proof Set
This is a 1983 United States Mint Proof Set containing five coins housed in the original US Mint plastic presentation case. The set includes a Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Kennedy Half Dollar. Each coin features a mirror-like 'Proof' finish, characterized by highly polished fields and frosted relief (cameo effect). The coins are dated 1983 and bear the 'S' mint mark, indicating they were struck at the San Francisco Mint. The packaging consists of a purple-hued cardstock insert held within a clear, rigid acrylic protective lens. The script 'United States Mint Proof Set' is printed vertically in silver on the left side of the insert. The coins appear to be in excellent condition with no visible signs of environmental toning or 'milk spots' common for the era. The clear acrylic case shows minor surface scratches and faint scuffing consistent with careful handling over several decades. This set represents a standard numismatic product from the early 1980s, valued for its preservation of uncirculated, high-quality strikes specifically produced for collectors rather than general commerce.
