12 Rare & Valuable Proof Sets Worth Money YOU Should Be Checking

Whether it's a No S coin, an interesting style of mint mark, a rare special set, or a strange digit in the date of a penny, there are a lot of proof sets that have unique characteristics that make them worth a lot more money than their counterparts without the error (or, in the case of a few, their year is simply a standout one in terms of value). This video explains what to look for and gives general senses of what each of the sets are worth.

Awesome video thanks for the info 👍

Glad to provide it!

[@troodon1096]

The funny thing is there's not really anything special with the 2012 proof set (both the clad and the silver ones); it just had a huge demand spike when the US Mint stopped selling it earlier than they usually do (typically the Mint sells a proof set for 2 years, or until as many as they minted sells out, whichever happens first. But the 2012 proof sets they stopped selling 9 months earlier than they usually do). It's still pretty valuable today, despite having a higher mintage than the 2013 and 2014 proof sets.

[@lindadavis1736]

You went through those so fast that I had to pause to write it all down! Thank you for your information, it’s truly appreciated! I’ll have to keep my eyes open!!! 👀

I bought this set for kids from 2019 w the penny planchet and seem to have an error proof Kennedy half. Or an oil drop? Weird. Also.see something in the quarter on the obverse. Is that a mint error when sealed in the blisters? Both in one set.

Thanks so much. Hope you enjoy collecting the proof sets!

[@maryswann7623]

My friend has a 1975 no mint marks (S)… it’s not in a box but all coins encased in plastic. Is this worth anything? I am having a hard time with this! Thank you 🙏

[@churchillcoins8519]

Perfect timing. I’m going through some of my proof sets this week. Thank you. Can you create a video on how to open the hard plastic proof sets to get out coins.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

I could try to do that in the future but have a lot of videos coming and don't have experience doing it myself. Obviously using care is important and not smashing the set near the actual coins is critical.

[@jamestemple9349]

Ty for info.

Bought multi silver proof sets during the statehood quarter series bought from the u.s. government mint

[@dwaynecollins4974]

What if you have a 1980s decade proof set that has one coin that doesn't have the same mint mark as the rest of them? And no there's no difference aside from the mint mark as to the appearance and quality of the coins.. would this be considered an error set?

Thanks for the info but I don't see any Denver proofs and I have a Denver proof coin I see u have from 1968 till 2022 with S mint marks but I have a 1969D/D Lincoln memorial cent

[@Mikey-xw7yo]

I bought a proof set thats either a 1968 69 or a 1972 set. The dime in it has some sort of damage on the rim and on some of the obverse lettering. The copper is showing on the letters on only 1 side and on the spot on the rim the copper is showing. Kinda looks like the rim goes down into the coin there. Wish I could show it to you. I have no clue what happen but you can see it with the naked eye. The copper on one side of the lettering is best seen w a loupe. Anyone seen or heard of this before? Any help is appreciated thanks

Those are error coins. They are worth a lot . Hang on to it.

I want to sell my proof and mint sets from around 1978 on. I will be offered 55% of gray sheet. Is that fair??? I was thinking of keeping the silver sets as I suspect I won’t get fair price for the 90% silver. What’s your opinion ? Thanking you in advance for your advice.

WHY is the 2012 PS 5x more than the 2011 & 2013's???

[@troodon1096]

Funny story; short answer is because the Mint stopped selling it earlier than they usually do, causing a spike in demand, which meant dealers had to pay more for them in order to have them available. This despite the fact the mintage of these is actually higher than 2013 and 2014. And they still are quite valuable; both the standard clad ones and the silver ones.
