The 1996-S U.S. Mint Clad Proof Set in Original Government Packaging (OGP) is an official U.S. Mint collector issue that celebrates the artistry and precision of modern American Proof coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this five-coin set includes the Lincoln Memorial Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Kennedy Half Dollar, each bearing the distinctive "S" mintmark. Every coin was struck multiple times using specially prepared planchets and highly polished dies, producing brilliant mirror-like fields, frosted design elements, and razor-sharp detail. Many examples exhibit exceptional cameo or deep cameo contrast, making them especially desirable to collectors. Preserved in the original U.S. Mint lens and accompanied by the official government packaging, this set remains exactly as issued by the Mint, ensuring authenticity and lasting collectible appeal. With an official mintage of 2,525,265, the 1996-S Clad Proof Set also commemorates the 90th anniversary of the San Francisco Mint, whose "S" mintmark has become synonymous with many of America's finest collector coins. Combining premium Proof quality, original government packaging, and historical significance, the 1996-S Clad Proof Set is an outstanding addition to any modern United States coin collection.
