1964 Mint Proof Set

5Pc set includes Cent, Nickel, Dime, Quarter, and Half - containing 3 coins struck in 90% silver (Half, Quarter and Dime).

1964 saw the introduction of the new John F. Kennedy Half Dollar, struck in honor of the President assassinated just a short time earlier. 

Mintage: 3,950,762 sets (a record that stood until the Bicentennial year of 1976)

1964 was the last year of the 90% Silver coins. Beginning in 1965, the Mints switched to a Copper-Nickel "Clad" coinage and only the Half Dollar was to contain any Silver (and then, only 40%).

Each coin is encased in heat-sealed plastic, original from the mint and includes the envelope.
