2002-S 1c-$1 Silver Proof Set, 10 Coins PR

Original Packaging: Two holders were required to house the ten coins. Each holder consisted of a two­-­piece, transparent plastic casing with frosted borders. This held a red fiberboard insert labeled “Silver,” featuring a background graphic of the American flag and holed appropriately for the coins it contained. One holder housed the cent, nickel, dime, half dollar, and dollar, while the other contained the five statehood quarters for 2002. The two holders were stacked and slipped into a white cardboard box. This box was printed primarily in red and featured a head view of the Statue of Liberty, along with starred upper and lower borders, the U.S. Mint’s 50 State Quarters® logo, and the words UNITED STATES MINT SILVER PROOF SET 2002.

Commentary: The popularity of the silver Proof set remained high in 2002. This has continued through the end of the 50 State Quarters® Program in 2008, and the extension of this commemorative program into U.S. territories and national parks should only amplify this trend.
