2006 Silver Proof Set (BUY)
Face Value: $2.91
Original Issue Price: $37.95
Mintage: 1,054,008
The 2006 Silver Proof Set contained a total of ten coins, after the two prior year's sets contained eleven coins due to the inclusion of two nickels for the Westward Journey series. The price of the set remained the same as the prior year and the mintage remained at approximately the same level.
Each set contained the five State Quarters for the year struck in 90% silver, the Nevada Quarter, Nebraska Quarter, Colorado Quarter, North Dakota Quarter, and South Dakota Quarter. Additional coins struck in 90% silver were the Kennedy Half Dollar and Roosevelt Dime. Coins struck in their standard compositions were the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, and Sacagawea Dollar.
The US Mint offered a separate 2006 State Quarters Silver Proof Set, which contained only the five 90% silver State Quarters. These sets were priced at $23.95 and sold 531,000 units.
The packaging for the standard 2006 Silver Proof Set remained unchanged from prior years featuring an image of the Statue of Liberty and the US Mint logo on a red color scheme. The coins inside were sealed in two different plastic lenses and a certificate of authenticity was included.
