Original Packaging: The year’s holder is similar to that of 1983, except as noted. A two-piece, transparent plastic with frosted borders held a purple fiberboard insert containing holes for the coins. This was slipped into a purple cardboard box upon which the words “UNITED STATES PROOF SET • 1984” were printed in silver script. This format remained the Mint’s standard packaging for Proof sets for the next decade. Commentary: The 1984-S Proof set had a mintage significantly lower than in 1983. Since sales rebounded the following year, it may be considered a statistical blip and not reflective of any trend. The relief of the cent was drastically lowered in several stages, beginning in 1984. On this year’s cent, Lincoln’s upper arm has been hollowed out, an effect that is readily apparent in a side-by-side comparison with the 1983 cent. This action was taken to eliminate a striking problem that had plagued the Memorial cent since its inception in 1959. The motto e pluribus unum did not strike up fully on most cents made for general circulation because the height of Lincoln’s shoulder, directly opposite this feature on the obverse, was too high to permit complete filling of the dies in a single blow from the press. Of course, this was not a problem with Proofs, which were struck two or three times, but the same master hub produced dies for both circulating coins and Proofs.

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
