1973 United States Mint Proof Set, San Francisco Mint Mark

Own 1973 Proof Coin Set – Includes First Eisenhower Dollar

This set contains six proof coins manufactured at the San Francisco Mint.  The small “S” mintmark can be found on each coin.  The Eisenhower dollar included in the set was issued in 1973 to commemorate former President and World War II General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Proof coin sets are produced by the US mint in San Francisco using a process that brings out the beauty of each coin’s design.  The dies and planchets (the metal disks that will become coins) are polished before the coin is struck.  This gives the fields (blank areas) a mirrored look and the image a frosted effect.  Proof coins are struck twice, giving the coin a sharper design and rims.  The proof sets are packaged at the mint and display America’s coins at their best.  Each set is only produced for one year, so the supply is limited.

This set contains these Proof coins:

1 Eisenhower Dollar

1 Kennedy Half Dollar

1 Washington Quarter

1 Roosevelt Dime

1 Jefferson Nickel

1 Lincoln Cent

Thie 1973 Proof Set deserves a home equal to the coins’ beauty.  The strong plastic display case is just that home.  The coins are sealed in the attractive case to keep dust, fingerprints, and moisture away from dulling the brilliant finish of these Proof coins.
