2011 US Mint Silver Proof Set
The United States Mint began sales of the 2011 Silver Proof Set on January 25, 2011, which was several months earlier than typical. Other core annual sets were also released early in a concerted effort to make the most popular products available throughout the entire calendar year.
Each set included proof versions of 14 different coins, with seven struck in a composition of 90% silver. The silver coins were the Roosevelt Dime, five America the Beautiful Quarters, and Kennedy Half Dollar. The remaining coins were struck in their standard composition and are identical to those found within the standard 2011 Proof Set.
Specifically, each 2011 Silver Proof Set included the following coins:
- 2011-S Lincoln Cent
- 2011-S Jefferson Nickel
- 2011-S Roosevelt Dime (silver)
- 2011-S Gettysburg National Military Park Quarter (silver)
- 2011-S Olympic National Park Quarter (silver)
- 2011-S Glacier National Park Quarter (silver)
- 2011-S Vicksburg National Military Park Quarter (silver)
- 2011-S Chickasaw National Recreation Area Quarter (silver)
- 2011-S Kennedy Half Dollar (silver)
- 2011-S Native American Dollar
- 2011-S Andrew Johnson Presidential Dollar
- 2011-S Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Dollar
- 2011-S Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Dollar
- 2011-S James Garfield Presidential Dollar
The pricing for the set was $67.95, with the high cost attributed to the rising market price of silver. Following a newly adopted brand identity, the packaging for the Silver Proof Set was redesigned. Coins were still included in three plastic lenses, but the inserts were black for those containing silver coins. The outer box was also black with the US Mint’s new logo.
