WASHINGTON — The United States Mint will begin accepting orders for the 2014 United States Mint Limited Edition Silver Proof Set (product code LS3) on March 17 at noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

The eight–coin set includes the following 2014 proof quality coins:

  • One Kennedy half–dollar

The American Eagle One Ounce Silver Proof Coin is the collector version of the official United States Mint American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin. This coin contains .999 fine silver and bears the “W” mint mark of the United States Mint at West Point. The quarter, half–dollar, and dime are struck in 90 percent silver – generally referred to as “coin silver” – and bear the “S” mint mark of the United States Mint at San Francisco.

The 2014 United States Mint Limited Edition Silver Proof Set is priced at $139.95. Production for this set is limited to 50,000 units, and there is no household order limit. Orders will be accepted at http://catalog.usmint.gov and at 1–800–USA–MINT (872–6468), while hearing– and speech–impaired customers with TTY equipment may order at 1–888–321–MINT. Please visit the United States Mint website for information about our shipping options: http://catalog.usmint.gov/customer–service/shipping.html.

The release of the 2014 United States Mint Limited Edition Silver Proof Set was delayed because of packaging improvements the bureau made based on returns for the 2013 set. The process took longer than expected, and the sets could not be assembled until March. The coins were all produced in 2014.
