2000-S UNITED STATES MINT SILVER PROOF SET – COMPLETE 10-COIN SET – ORIGINAL GOVERNMENT PACKAGING + COA. Offered here is a beautiful complete 2000-S United States Mint Silver Proof Set, containing all 10 original San Francisco Mint proof coins in their original two U. Mint protective lenses, original presentation box and original Certificate of Authenticity. This is the desirable SILVER Proof Set, not the standard clad 2000 Proof Set. SEVEN OF THE TEN COINS ARE 90% SILVER, giving the set approximately 1.34 troy ounces of actual silver weight in addition to its numismatic and collector value. The combination of precious-metal content, official U. Mint packaging, proof coinage, State Quarters history and the first-year Sacagawea Dollar gives this set appeal to both silver buyers and traditional coin collectors. THE COMPLETE 10-COIN SET INCLUDES. 2000-S Lincoln Memorial Cent. Obverse design by Victor D. Brenner with Frank Gasparro’s Lincoln Memorial reverse. Felix Schlag’s classic Thomas Jefferson and Monticello designs. 2000-S Roosevelt Dime – 90% SILVER. Designed by John R. Sinnock and struck as a special San Francisco proof. 2000-S Kennedy Half Dollar – 90% SILVER. Featuring Gilroy Roberts’ portrait of President John F. Kennedy and Frank Gasparro’s Presidential Seal-inspired heraldic eagle reverse. 2000-S Sacagawea Golden Dollar. A particularly historic coin because 2000 was the first year of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar and the first year a proof version was issued. Glenna Goodacre’s obverse portrays Sacagawea carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste. Rogers designed the original soaring eagle reverse, surrounded by 17 stars representing the states in the Union during the Lewis and Clark expedition. The Sacagawea dollar’s distinctive golden appearance comes from its manganese-brass clad composition – it contains no gold. FIVE 2000-S 50 STATE QUARTERS – ALL 90% SILVER. The enormously popular 50 State Quarters Program had begun only one year earlier in 1999. These are special silver proof versions created specifically for collectors rather than the ordinary circulating clad quarters. Massachusetts – 90% Silver. Features the famous Minuteman statue and outline of Massachusetts with the inscription The Bay State. Maryland – 90% Silver. Features the historic Maryland State House dome surrounded by branches of the white oak, Maryland’s state tree. South Carolina – 90% Silver. Features symbols closely associated with the state: the Palmetto tree, Carolina wren and yellow jessamine. New Hampshire – 90% Silver. Features the famous Old Man of the Mountain with the state motto Live Free or Die. Virginia – 90% Silver. APPROXIMATELY 1.34 TROY OZ OF SILVER.

This gives the complete set approximately 1.34 troy ounces of actual silver weight (ASW). Unlike ordinary bullion, this silver is contained in genuine legal-tender United States proof coinage with additional numismatic and collector appeal.
