Talking about the sets that have the penny, nickle, dime, quarter, 1/2 and dollar in it. Is their a factor that can be applied to one compared to the other?

(Usually, this term refers to government issued Mint Sets, although for many years, it has been loosely used for any set of Uncirculated coins from a particular year. Also, the government Mint Sets issued from 1947 until 1958 were double sets.) http://www.coincommunity.com/dictio.../coins_m.asp Quote: Proof set A coin set containing Proof issues from particular year. A few sets contain anomalies such as the 1804 dollar and eagle in 1834 presentation Proof sets. http://www.coincommunity.com/dictio.../coins_p.asp couldnt find anything about bank set so may be another member could help to CC forum Report this Post to the Staff
PennieDee New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 05/21/2011 7:31 pm A proof coin is uncirculated, polished and made with a treated die. They are struck twice, or more. Mint sets contain coins that haven't been circulated and that receive no real special treatment before being packaged for sale. Report this Post to the Staff
