I was in a coin shop the other day and they had a bunch of quarters from the late seventies for $1.50. That seemed cheap if they were silver. Report this Post to the Staff

coinmap Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 07/20/2009 09:54 am Until 1992, all of the SF proof sets, with the exception of special sets, were clad. Starting in 1992, the Mint started producing the Silver proof sets. Each year since 1992, they have produced both a clad, and silver proof set. Yes, the late 70's, with the exception of 76, would be clad. Report this Post to the Staff

Silver proof sets were discontinued after 1964 and then resumed in 1992 and continue today. Report this Post to the Staff
