The official 10-coin United States Mint Proof Set� for 2002 is now available - the fourth annual set in the ten-year series celebrating each of the 50 states. Few coins today have the degree of artistry and detail that is so beautifully revealed in a proof coin. The set includes all five proof quarters issued under the 50 State Quarters� Program for 2002 and celebrates the unique heritage of the states - Tennessee "Musical Heritage"; Ohio "Birthplace of Aviation Pioneers"; Louisiana "Louisiana Purchase"; Indiana "Crossroads of America"; and Mississippi the "Magnolia State." The set also include proof versions of the Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Kennedy half-dollar and Golden Dollar - ten coins in all.
United States proof coins are extraordinarily brilliant with sharp relief and a mirror-like surface. Their frosted, sculpted foregrounds give them a special "cameo" effect, created by the exacting proofing process. Proof blanks are specially treated, polished, and cleaned to ensure high-quality strikes. The blanks are then fed into presses fitted with hand-polished dies and struck at least twice to ensure a sharp, high relief. The coins are then packaged in presentation cases to showcase and maintain their exceptional finish.
From the birth of a child, to a graduation, the United States Mint Proof Set� is a gift of historic beauty and a lasting memento that only gets better with time.
