ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 05/17/2009 9:53 pm Silver proof sets were made starting in 1992. The 1970 proof set will have a silver half dollar (last year of 40%). Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/17/2009 11:51 pm In the 1970 proof set, only the half dollar is silver and it is 40% silver clad. There were no silver proof sets in 1972, 1989, and 1991. Beginning in 1992, the US Mint started producing 90% silver proof sets in addition to the regular clad sets. The dime, quarter, and half dollar are 90% silver while the other denominations are their normal compositions. Report this Post to the Staff
