Title:
Standard 1971 US Mint Proof Set
Description:
The 1971 US Mint proof set contains five coins: a Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Kennedy Half Dollar, all with the ”S” mintmark indicating they were struck at the San Francisco Mint. A total of 3,220,733 of these proof sets were produced. The 1971 proof set is notable as the first year the U.S. Mint produced proof sets with the ”S” mintmark. Additionally, a few ”S”-less Jefferson Nickels were discovered in the sets, with an estimated 1,655 struck.
