Demand for early copper and Colonial-era numismatic treasures drives strong results in Heritage Auctions' July 13 Early Copper & Colonial U.S. Coins Showcase Auction
The Prestige Proof Set program ran inconsistently from 1983 to 1997 with a one or two commemorative coins added to the regular proof sets of the year. Included within the 1993 Prestige Proof set were the clad half dollar and silver dollar honoring the bicentennial of the Bill of Rights. Since that anniversary actually occurred in 1991, less emphasis was placed on this theme in the actual designs, which are better known for portraying the bill’s author, James Madison. Some 224,045 sets were sold at $57 apiece.
