The 2002 Silver Proof Set had an overall mintage which was little changed from the prior year. The silver proof sets sold mostly around the 900,000 level during the middle of the State Quarters series, with higher mintages at the beginning and lower mintages at the end. This year's set contained a total of 10 coins, with seven of them struck with a composition of 90% silver.
The 2002 Silver Proof Set contained the five state quarters in 90% silver. The states included Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, and Mississippi. The Kennedy Half Dollar and Roosevelt Dime were also struck in 90% silver. Rounding out the set were the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, and Sacagawea Dollar struck in their standard compositions.
The packaging for the 2002 Silver Proof Set carried over the same design from the previous year. The dollar, half dollar, dime, nickel, and cent were sealed in a first plastic lens, with the five state quarters sealed in a second lens. These were housed within a cardboard box with a picture of the Statue of Liberty and red color scheme.
