Title:
Standard 1968 US Mint Proof Set
Description:
The 1968 US Mint standard 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 3,041,506 sets were produced. A significant error occurred where a small number of dimes were struck without the ”S” mintmark. These ”no S” dimes are highly sought after by collectors, with some sets containing them valued at $14,000.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Each set includes one proof example of each circulating coin: Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, and Kennedy half dollar.
Minting:

Packaging:
The coins are housed in a rectangular, hard plastic insert with a clear overlay, sealed in a blue, mint-embossed cardboard holder.
