Description
2001-S US Mint Clad Proof Coin Set GEM Proof in Original Mint Packaging
This 10-piece 2001 Clad United States Proof Set includes the following coins:
Sacagawea Dollar
Kennedy Half-Dollar
New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Kentucky State Quarters
Jefferson Nickel
Roosevelt Dime
Lincoln Penny
All coins are double struck to achieve the maximum perfection of the mirror surfaces, and special dies are used for this purpose. Each proof coin features double-struck frosted engravings along with mirror fields in the background. Five of these coins (five quarters) present one-year-only designs. All of the coins in this set were minted at the San Francisco Mint and carry the “S” Mint mark. As was done in the year prior, this set was packaged in a blue-themed box. The State Quarters and five other coins were placed in separate lenses before being placed into a cardboard box.
The U.S. Mint has issued the total number of these sets to be 2,294,909 mintage for the entire world. As that number is remarkably low, this becomes a major factor for collectors and a high value item in the world of numismatics. Furthermore, a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from the United States Mint is included in this packaging which provides detailed descriptions for each coin and their respective images along with the information for each set. Additionally, the COA provides further guarantee of each of the coin’s weight, purity, and overall quality.
