WASHINGTON — The 2008 United States Mint Proof Set® will be available beginning June 24 at 12 noon (ET). There is no order limit for this set, which is priced at $26.95.
The 2008 United States Mint Proof Set includes four Presidential $1 Coins honoring James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren and the final five quarters of the 50 State Quarters Program honoring Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii. The Lincoln cent, the Jefferson 5–cent coin (nickel), the Roosevelt dime, the Kennedy half–dollar, and the Golden Dollar featuring Sacagawea also are included.
The United States Mint Proof Set–manufactured at the United States Mint at San Francisco using specially prepared, highly polished dies–contains extraordinarily brilliant coins, with sharp relief and a mirror–like background. A frosted, sculpted foreground gives these coins a special cameo effect. The coins are sealed in three presentation cases that are housed in a custom “sleeve.” A Certificate of Authenticity is included with each set.
