The 1962 U.S. Mint Proof Set is a classic five-coin collection specially struck at the Philadelphia Mint for collectors. It includes the Lincoln Memorial Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Franklin Half Dollar, with the dime, quarter, and half dollar composed of 90% silver. Each coin was produced using polished dies and carefully prepared planchets, resulting in sharp design details, brilliant mirror-like fields, and, on selected examples, attractive frosted cameo contrast. The coins were sealed together in a clear cellophane flat pack, protected by cardboard inserts, and issued inside an official U.S. Mint envelope. With a mintage of 3,218,019 sets, the 1962 Proof Set remains popular for its classic early-1960s designs, substantial silver content, original Mint presentation, and lasting collector appeal.
