2018-S United States Silver Reverse Proof Set NGC PF70 FDOI - Cable Car Label

Eight First-Ever Coins in One Fantastic First-Ever Set!

The U.S. Mint in San Francisco began producing proof coins in 1968 – and to mark its 50th year of minting America’s “best of the best,” the mint is releasing a FIRST-EVER set of 10 stunning Reverse Proofs – including eight coins never before issued in this distinctive finish! It’s a remarkable set that is highly anticipated by collectors eager to add these first-of-kind proof coins to their collections – and based on past history, if you want to get one of these sets you will need to act fast!

How fast? Well, consider the popularity of previous U.S. Mint Anniversary Proof Sets that contained reverse proof coins:

The 2006 Three-Piece Silver Eagle Set released to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Silver Eagle contained just one Silver Eagle with a reverse proof finish. The edition limit of 250,000 sold out in just a few weeks. Five years later, the Mint released its 2011 Silver Eagle Five-Piece Set celebrating the program’s 25th Anniversary. Like the 2006 set, it contained just one reverse finish proof. That set had an edition limit of 100,000 – and it sold out in just a few hours!

How long will it take for the 50th Anniversary 2018 San Francisco Mint Silver Reverse Proof Set to be completely sold out? Who knows, but based on past history the best guess is: Not Long!

Here are the coins in the 50th Anniversary 2018 San Francisco Mint Silver Reverse Proof Set:

1. First-Ever Reverse Proof 2018 Lincoln Cent.
2. First-Ever Reverse Proof 2018 Jefferson Nickel.
3. 90% Silver Reverse Proof Roosevelt Dime
4. Five First-Ever 90% silver Reverse Proof 2018 America the Beautiful Quarters™ -- Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Georgia and Rhode Island.
5. 90% Silver Reverse Proof 2018 Kennedy Half-Dollar
6. First-Ever Reverse proof 2018 Native American Dollar with Jim Thorpe design.

The very best in U.S. coinage, Proof finish coins are the ultimate in quality, beauty and value – double-struck under intense pressure to bring out their intricate details and dazzling luster. To achieve a Reverse Proof effect, the dies and planchets are specially prepared so that multiple strikes result in frosty fields and shimmering details – the complete opposite of their traditional proof finish counterparts – and far more scarce! A good way to tell the difference is to imagine the difference between a photograph and its negative. When held right, a standard proof appears like a black-and-white photograph while a reverse proof takes on the appearance of its negative. The visual effect is remarkable!

 Your 50th Anniversary 2018 San Francisco Mint Silver Reverse Proof Set has also been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in perfect Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proofs will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. NGC has placed its certification labels directly on the original mint packaging. In addition, your set will be certified First Day of Issue (FDI) by NGC – independent authentication that your set was released by the mint during the premier day of the series' issue. Finally, an exclusive San Francisco Cable Car label will be applied to the packaging to add an additional pedigree to your set.
