2007 Silver Proof Set (BUY)
Face Value: $6.91
Original Issue Price: $44.95
Mintage: 677,996
The 2007 Silver Proof Set included a total of fourteen coins, up by four coins from the prior year. The additional coins were the result of the new Presidential Dollar coin series. The price of the set was increased to $44.95, up by $7 from the prior year. The mintage of the set sunk to the lowest level since before the State Quarters series began.
Each 2007 Silver Proof Set contained seven 90% silver coins, the Montana Quarter, Washington Quarter, Idaho Quarter, Wyoming Quarter, Utah Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, and Roosevelt Dime. There were also seven coins struck in their standard compositions, which included the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Sacagawea Dollar, and four 2007 Presidential Dollars.
The US Mint separately offered a 2007 State Quarters Silver Proof Set for $25.95 and a 2007 Presidential Dollars Proof Set for $14.95, creating a redundancy for the majority of the standard set.
The packaging for the 2007 Silver Proof Set was altered with the launch of the Presidential Dollars. The coins from the prior year were still included in the red themed, State of Liberty cardboard box, within two separate lenses. The new Presidential Dollars were in another lens and placed in a separate cardboard box depicting Presidents. These were both put into a white slipcase bearing the US Mint logo.
