2006 U.S Silver Proof 14 Coin Set

The United States Mint released the 2006 United States Mint Silver Proof Set on May 10, 2006, at 12:00 noon (ET).

The 2006 United States Mint Silver Proof Set features proof versions of the five 2006 commemorative quarter–dollar coins in the United States Mint’s 50 State Quarters Program – honoring Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota and South Dakota – as well as the Roosevelt dime and the Kennedy half–dollar, all minted in lustrous 90 percent silver, historically known as “coin silver.” Each of these beautiful silver proof coins has a distinctive cameo appearance created by the contrast of a finely detailed frosted foreground against a mirror–like background.

The United States Mint Silver Proof Set also includes a proof version of the “Return to Monticello” nickel — the final coin in the Westward Journey Nickel Series? – as well as the Golden Dollar and a Lincoln cent.

Produced at the United States Mint at San Francisco, the coins bear the “S” mint mark. The sealed cases containing the coins are inserted into a specially printed sleeve and are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
