1979 P & D US Mint Uncirculated Sets Original Packaging

The 1979 U.S. Mint 6-Coin Proof Set is a beautifully struck collector-assembled collection featuring all six denominations of U.S. coinage issued for collectors during this landmark year. Produced at the San Francisco Mint, the set includes the Lincoln Memorial Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, and Susan B. Anthony Dollar, each bearing the "S" mintmark. The 1979 issue is historically significant as it marks the debut of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar, the first U.S. circulating coin to feature the portrait of a real woman and the first small-size dollar coin produced for general circulation. Every coin was specially struck multiple times using polished dies and carefully prepared planchets, resulting in brilliant mirror-like fields, razor-sharp details, and, on many examples, striking cameo or deep cameo contrast. While the U.S. Mint officially sold the standard five-coin Proof Set separately from the Susan B. Anthony Proof Dollar, collector-assembled six-coin sets bring together every denomination issued during the year in one attractive presentation. With an official five-coin Proof Set mintage of 3,677,175, the 1979 issue remains a favorite among collectors for its exceptional quality, historical importance, and the introduction of one of America's most recognizable modern coin designs.
