US Mint Premier Silver Proof Sets You are purchasing a 1997 issue set.......... FREE SHIPPING ON ALL SALES The coins in Premier Silver Proof Sets are identical to the coins in their regular silver proof set counterparts both of which were first introduced in 1992. The difference lies solely in the packaging, for which the Mint charged an extra $16.50 ($37 in 1992 increasing to $37.50 for 1993 through 1998 versus $21 for the regular silver set for all seven years) Of the five coins included in the sets, the Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter and Kennedy Half Dollar are 90% silver and 10% copper, the same composition used for these series through the 1964-dated coinage. The Lincoln Cent and Jefferson Nickel in these sets are identical in metallic composition to their counterparts in the regular proof sets and contain no silver. Collectively, the three silver coins contain .61487 ounce of pure silver. In the regular Silver proof sets, these five coins are sealed inside a hard plastic case with a black cardboard insert. The plastic case was sold and shipped by the Mint inside a black paperboard box. The Premier Silver Proof Sets start with the same plastic holder and black insert. The plastic holder is mounted inside a plush album and held in place with a chrome metallic band around the edge of the plastic holder. The Proof Set read more
