2011 US Mint Proof Set
Following several years of changes for the US Mint’s most popular annual set, the 2011 Proof Set will contain the same number of coins as the prior year and not represent the start of any new series. It will, however, continue three separate ongoing coin series featuring rotating designs.
The America the Beautiful Quarters will enter their second year of release, with five additional designs featuring Gettysburg National Park, Glacier National Park, Olympic National Park, Vicksburg National Park, and Chickasaw Recreation Area. The Presidential Dollars will enter the fifth year of release with coins for the 17th to 20th Presidents. The Native American Dollar will continue with the third reverse design to represent the accomplishments and contributions of Native Americans.
In addition to the coins with rotating designs, will be some familiar constants within the 2011 Proof Set, including the Roosevelt Dime, Jefferson Nickel, Kennedy Half Dollar, and the Lincoln Cent with the Union Shield reverse design.
The 14 different proof coins will be struck at the San Francisco Mint and carry the “S” mint mark. Packaging for the set will feature the United States Mint’s recently reinvigorated branding concept.
Besides the core annual set, the Mint will also release separate proof sets for the quarters and Presidential Dollars, as well as a set containing 90% silver coins.
The United States Mint began sales of the 2011 Proof Set on January 11, 2011, with pricing established at $31.95 per set. This was the same price in effect for the prior year set.
