1964 Silver Proof Set - Great for 60th Birthdays!

This is the official Proof Set, as issued by the U.S. Mint in 1964.  It has been unavailable from the U.S. Mint since 1964 and is increasingly hard to find.

Proofs are the highest quality U.S. coins, and a Proof Set is a limited edition collection of the year’s coins.

The 1964 Proof Set includes all coins from the Penny through the Half Dollar.

The set includes the .900 silver Kennedy Half Dollar, Washington Quarter, and Roosevelt Dime.  The Kennedy Half Dollar was the first coin in this series, and 1964 was the last year of regular-issue .900 silver coins.

The coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint but have no mint mark.

All coins are in original Proof quality and are still in the original U.S. Mint protective packaging.

1964 highlights: Congress passed the Civil Rights Act banning discrimination in voting and employment, Lyndon B. Johnson was elected to a full four-year term as President, and The Beatles arrived in the U.S.
