1993-S 1c-50c Silver Proof Set, 5 Coins PR

Original Packaging: A two­-­piece, transparent plastic casing with frosted borders held a black fiberboard insert containing holes for the coins. Printed on this insert was the word “Silver” in silver script. The assembled set was slipped into a black cardboard box upon which the words “United States Mint Silver Proof Set • 1993” were printed in silver script.

Commentary: With the Mint’s bicentennial over, far fewer of the silver Proof sets were sold in 1993. The scarcity and popularity of this edition are reflected in the solid after­market price. The silver Premier Proof set was again offered this year, selling a mere 191,140 units. For some reason not revealed, its price was raised just 50¢ to $37.50.
