2000-S 1c-$1 Silver Proof Set, 10 Coins PR

Original Packaging: Two holders were required to house the ten coins. Each holder consisted of a two­-­piece, transparent plastic casing with frosted borders. This held a red fiberboard insert labeled “Silver,” featuring a background graphic of the American flag and holed appropriately for the coins it contained. One holder housed the cent, nickel, dime, half dollar, and dollar, while the other contained the five statehood quarters for 2000. The two holders were stacked and slipped into a white cardboard box. This box was printed primarily in red and featured a head view of the famous statue Statue of Liberty, along with starred upper and lower borders, the U.S. Mint’s 50 State Quarters® logo, and the words UNITED STATES MINT PROOF SET 2000.

Commentary: The popularity of the Mint’s formerly lackluster silver Proof sets rose dramatically with the onset of the 50 State Quarters® Program in 1999, and this momentum carried through into 2000. This, combined with millennium Y2K mania, drove the number of pieces certified to very high levels.
