I picked up a bunch of coins yesterday on ebay. The lot included a set of Sacagaweas with the proofs and Presidential dollars with the proofs. The seller has these all in flips in a binder and labeled some as proof and some as silver proof. That makes perfect sense for the halves but what does it mean for the "gold" dollars? I'm guessing it means they were pulled from silver proof sets. Does that sound right and is there any difference between a dollar from a silver proof set and a normal proof set?

Thanks,

Phil

The difference between a proof set and a sliver proof set is that the dime, quarter(s) and half are silver, all other coins are the same.

.......Yep.....there's no such thing as a "Silver" Proof Presidential dollar....it's the same coin as the regular Proof Sets. And it's the same for the Sacagawea dollars as well.

I also agree. Only the Dime, Quarters, and Half Dollars are silver. This results in duplicates when one purchases both sets.

I would say you are right and the labeling indicates what type of set he pulled them out of. There is no difference in the dollar coins between the Clad" and the "silver" sets.
