Vintage 1962 United States Mint Proof Set in Original Government Flat Pack Packaging
Capture a pristine piece of American numismatic history with this gorgeous, vintage 1962 United States Mint Proof Set, preserved precisely as it left the Philadelphia Mint over six decades ago. Strikingly dynamic, this set captures a monumental era when the nation looked toward the stars during John Glenn’s historic orbit of the Earth. Every piece serves as an authentic time capsule of early 1960s Americana, featuring the next-to-last issue of the beloved 90% silver Franklin Half Dollar before it was permanently replaced following the tragic assassination of President Kennedy. Because these brilliant proof pieces were exclusively struck using specially polished dies and hand-selected planchets, they boast the mirror-like surfaces and deep, razor-sharp design contours highly prized by discriminating collectors worldwide. Unlike common pocket change that endured the rough wear of daily commerce, these immaculate specimens have spent their entire existence safely shielded inside their original government-issued pliofilm flat pack, remaining entirely uncirculated. Perfect for family heirlooms, silver stackers, or registry set collectors, this complete five-coin assembly represents one of the final years of true circulating silver coinage in United States history.
