Values
A proof set’s market depends on the year and on whether the box still holds every coin. This page is a series reference, not a price list.
The mintage chart leaves G, VF, and MS-63 blank. The NGC US Coin Price Guide file retrieved 2026-08-21 does not cover these sets. Do not price the set by adding five coin guides together.
If you have one and want to sell it, start with how to sell a coin collection. The mint set is the uncirculated package. A silver proof set is a different product and is not a row here.
Key Dates
No key list was copied onto this page. An early exact count is still a row. It is not a bold line until a publisher key list is checked against this chart.
Errors
Greater-than cells. The pre-war table prints a figure that is more than a number. Those years stay off.
The wrong set. A silver proof set, a prestige set, and a quarters-only set are not the standard row for that year.
No proof set in the special-mint years. 1965, 1966, and 1967 are not blank cells on this table. They are not rows.
Compare a coin from the set to the NGC Coin Explorer. We do not host their plates. Those pages are individual coins. They are not the set-sales source for this chart.
Varieties
A standard proof set is a package, not a die variety. Silver proof sets, prestige sets, limited editions, and the quarter-program sets stay off this page. Varieties on the coins inside belong on those series pages.
Names follow PCGS CoinFacts and NGC, the same publishers this site already cites. This is a name list, not a price list and not a count.
Mintage
Standard proof sets whose table prints an exact count. The chart runs from the first exact cell through the last year that table prints.

Specifications
These are mint specs, not what a dealer pays. Wear can take a little weight off a coin. We will not invent a tolerance. A proof set is several coins, and no catalog page used here prints one thickness for the package.
| Specification | Figure |
|---|---|
| Diameter | Not printed |
| Thickness | Not printed |
| Weight | Not printed |
| Composition | Not printed on a cited catalog page |
| Edge | Not printed on a cited catalog page |
| Designer | The coins inside the set change by year |
No catalog page used for the proof set prints a thickness. Diameter, weight, and thickness stay Not printed. A single coin planchet is not copied onto the package.
Grading
A proof set is graded as a package and as the coins inside it.
Each coin has its own obverse and reverse. Mirror fields and frosted devices are the proof look. A silver proof set is not this chart.
Key Diagnostic Areas
| Area | What to examine | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| The package | Whether every coin the year calls for is still present. | The chart counts sets sold. A short box is not that count. |
| The fields | Mirror fields and frosted devices, coin by coin. | Hairlines on a proof show in the fields. Do not scrub them. |
| The mint | No mint mark on an early set, or an S from 1968 on. | The standard set changes mint. A silver set and a prestige set stay off this chart. |
Circulated & Mint State
These cards describe this coin, not a second copy of the P-1 through MS-70 chart. The shared numbers live on the glossary.
See graded photos. The photos that show what VF looks like live at PCGS. We do not host their plates. NGC Coin Explorer is another look if you want a second set.
What each named grade looks like on this design.
Poor
Poor
A disk you can still call a proof set if you already know the type.
- The fields and the devices are gone.
- The date may be a shadow. Do not scrape it.
- Shine does not make this a better coin.
AG
About Good
You might read a digit. The high points on this proof set are already slick.
- The fields and the devices are worn to a blank patch.
- If you cannot read the date without hoping, stay here.
- A standard set is still this grade if it is this worn.
Good
Good
The date is readable. The design is still mostly an outline.
- The fields and the devices are flat. The type is an outline, not a portrait.
- The rim should be full enough to hold the legend.
- This is a worn coin, not a details story.
VG
Very Good
The date is clear. A little life returns away from the high points.
- Some leftover detail sits away from the fields and the devices.
- The high points are still tired.
- Do not clean the date to “see it better.”
Fine
Fine
You can follow the design. The high points are outlined, not sharp.
- The fields and the devices are outlined and flat — no real sharpness yet.
- The rest of the coin can look busier than the grade.
- The date should be clear. The mint mark should be too, if there is one.
VF
Very Fine
The type is doing real work. The fields and the devices still decide.
- Leftover detail sits on the fields and the devices. The centers are still the worn spot.
- Marks do not raise the grade.
- A regular standard set is still this grade if it is this worn.
EF
Extremely Fine
Most of the coin looks sharp. The high points tell on it.
- Light wear on the fields and the devices.
- The rest of the coin can look better than the grade. Trust the high points.
- The date should be sharp.
AU
About Uncirculated
Almost no wear — and “almost” lives on the same high points.
- A trace of rub on the fields and the devices.
- Luster may still sit in the fields. Rub on those high points is still rub.
- A bright coin with a slick high point is still slick.
Basal MS
Mint State
No wear. The fight is marks and luster, not how white the coin looks.
- No rub on the fields and the devices.
- Marks and luster decide how this mint-state coin lives.
- A bright chewed-up coin is still chewed-up.
Choice
Choice Mint State
Still no wear. Cleaner fields than basal mint state.
- Same no-wear rule on the fields and the devices.
- Fewer marks in the fields. Luster is more intact.
- White is not a grade.
Gem
Gem Mint State
A clean proof set for this type. Still mint state, still not a story.
- No wear on the fields and the devices.
- Marks and luster, not a romance about a date or a white field.
- A slab is an opinion in plastic. The glossary has the numbers.
This page is the set. It does not invent a separate PR price grid for each coin inside. The proof numbers live on the glossary.
Copper color designations belong on a cent, not on the package. See the Lincoln Wheat cent and the glossary.
Overview
The standard proof set is the Mint’s annual package of proof coins, sold as a set rather than as pocket change. Early sets are Philadelphia coins with no mint mark. From 1968 the standard set is San Francisco. This chart is that standard set only.
No paired public-domain photograph of a sealed set was added. The placeholder is intentional. One coin would not stand for the package.
This page is a series article, not a shop listing.
History
Proof sets resumed in 1936 and ran through 1942. The counts in that table are written as greater than a number. They stay off. After the war the sets return in 1950 and run through 1964 with exact counts. There is no standard proof set for 1965, 1966, or 1967. San Francisco sets begin in 1968 and the table used here ends with 2023. Later years are not in that table, so they are not rows.
Silver proof sets, prestige sets with a commemorative, and the quarter-program sets have their own sections. None of those sections is copied here.
Design
This page is the package, not one coin. Each coin inside has its own obverse and reverse: the circulating designs of that year, struck as proofs. Those designs are on the series pages. The cent, nickel, dime, quarter, and half are the usual core. A dollar appears in some later years, and some years add an extra coin in the “other” column of the source table. The row on this chart is the set, not each coin.
A mirror field and a frosted device are the proof look. A mint set is brilliant or satin, and it belongs on the other page.
People Also Ask
Why do the 1936 through 1942 sets stay off the chart?
Those cells are printed as greater-than figures, not exact counts. A greater-than figure is not a row.
Where are 1965, 1966, and 1967?
There is no standard proof set in those years on this table. The special mint sets of those years are on the mint set page.
Is a silver proof set this chart?
No. Silver proof sets, prestige sets, limited editions, and the quarter-program sets stay off. This page is the standard set.
How much is a proof set worth?
This page does not print guide prices. The NGC US Coin Price Guide file retrieved 2026-08-21 does not include proof sets. A set is not a single grade column.
Collector Considerations
Open the box and count the coins before you match a year. A missing half dollar is not the full set the chart counts. A silver dime, quarter, and half in a later package are the silver proof set, not this row.
The mint set page is the uncirculated counterpart, including the special mint sets of the mid-1960s.
A Final Word
The proof set page charts the standard set where the count is exact. The greater-than years stay off, and the other set families stay in their own tables.
The grade columns stay blank until a guide extract exists for these sets.
