About US Silver Proof Set
Proof sets with the dime, quarter, and half dollar struck in 90 percent silver instead of the standard copper nickel clad. Introduced in 1992. The silver proof set costs more than the regular proof set. From 1992 to 2018, the silver proof set included five quarters when the America the Beautiful program was running. The silver proof set is popular with collectors who appreciate the traditional silver appearance of proof coins.
