About the sets: 1960 was a great year for the variety collector. Some of the most spectacular Proof varieties occurred during this year. The first varieties to come out of 1960 were the Large Date and Small Date Varieties. The Small Date appears to be 10 – 15 times rarer than the Large Date. Some of the Sets may contain the following very rare varieties:

• 1960 Tripled Die Obverse Cent with a Large Date over a Small Date (examine "LIBERTY" for evidence of tripling of the letters and the date for evidence of over-date)

• 1960 Doubled Die Obverse Cent with a Large Date over a Small Date (examine "LIBERTY" for evidence of doubling of the letters and the date for evidence of over-date)

• 1960 Doubled Die Obverse Cent with a Small Date over a Large Date (examine "LIBERTY" for evidence of doubling of the letters and the date for evidence of over-date)

• 1960 Doubled Die Obverse Dime (examine "LIBERTY", "IN GOD WE TRUST", and the date)

• 1960 Doubled Die Reverse Dime (examine any of the lettering on the reverse)

• 1960 Doubled Die Reverse Quarter (examine the eagle's wings, "QUARTER DOLLAR", and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA")

• 1960 Doubled Die Obverse Half Dollar (examine "LIBERTY", "TRUST" and the date)

Original packaging: Each coin was sealed in its own compartment between two sheets of flat pliofilm. An octagonal, foil seal imprinted with "US MINT PHILADELPHIA" was placed in a sixth compartment, and the flat pack was then inserted into a mailing envelope with a card.
