The only coins that are any different in the "Silver Proof Set" is the quarter, the half, and the dime the rest is exactly the same composition as the regular coins in the other proof set or even pocket change (just the way the dies are prepared is different in the proof version) Report this Post to the Staff

Unless you are talking about pocket change from 50-100 years ago. :) Report this Post to the Staff

mowens16 Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 07/30/2009 6:51 pm The Lincoln Cent in the Clad Proof and Silver Proof sets are the same, as far as composition. I would certainly "compare" the coins in each set to see if one is better than the other, ie I have 2 2009 sets and the Silver proof set for whatever reason has much nicer cameros than the Clad Proof set.
