United States proof set 1968 s. 5 coins lot .

Presented here is a United States Proof Set from 1968, comprising a complete collection of five pristine coins from the San Francisco Mint (indicated by the 'S' mint mark). This set offers a snapshot of American coinage from the era, meticulously struck with a special finish that enhances their design details, a hallmark of proof coinage.

The 1968-S Proof Set notably includes the 40% silver Kennedy Half Dollar, a key feature for collectors and a continuation of the silver content in the series following the cessation of 90% silver coinage. The set also contains the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, and Washington Quarter, all struck in their standard clad (copper-nickel) compositions for the year. Each coin exhibits the distinct mirror-like fields and frosted devices characteristic of proof striking, preserved in what is typically their original government packaging (OGP) to maintain their collector quality. This set is a sought-after piece for numismatists focusing on US Proof coinage, offering historical significance and intrinsic appeal.
