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
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 • 1998” were printed in silver script.
Commentary: As with the regular Proof set, sales of the silver edition crept up a bit from the previous year. This remains a very popular set, containing, as it does, what may prove to be the final Washington quarter with the old Flanagan reverse.
The silver Premier Proof set was offered for the final time this year, and it sold a respectable 240,658 units.
