Family Collecting - Statehood Quarters
For the next ten years the US Mint will be issuing five new state quarters each year. They will be issued in the order that they joined the Union. Now is the time to start your collection and a collection of the quarters issued from 1932 to 1998. We believe that Dansco Albums are by far the best looking, offer the best variety and best way to keep your coins. The coins are visible from both sides and are protected by a plastic sleeve. There is a variety of coins issued in this series. Coins struck for circulation, proof coins struck in the same metal as those made for circulation and proof coins made of silver, hence there are a variety of holders made.
Don't miss the great opportunity to collect the new US Commemorative Coins-the Statehood Series. At GULFCOAST Coin we inventory all the new Statehood Quarters and the newest supplies to keep your collection beautiful and safe. It has been a long time since families could collect US Commemorative Coins at close to face value. I invite your family to revisit the joy that you can have together, collecting coins. Collecting the Statehood Quarter Series can be highly educational and more importantly fun - Enjoy!
Proof Sets
United States proof coins are produced from carefully selected planchets, or blanks, that have been burnished to a high luster. The polished blanks, which are carefully handled to minimize scratches and abrasions, are struck on specially adapted coining presses. Each coin is struck at least twice to bring forth the most minute detail with remarkable clarity.
The surfaces of the coinage dies for striking proof coins are meticulously processed to create a frosted appearance of the image on the die. The background surface is polished and buffed to a mirror-like finish. The dies are also buffed during the striking process.
The finished coin with its frosted cameo image on a mirror-like field is carefully inspected-- with gloved hands to protect its surface-- before being assembled into sets. The proof coins are then placed into transparent presentation cases.
Proofs coins, referred to as "Master Coins" in the early days of the Mint, were originally produced to "prove the correctness of the dies." These first pieces, struck with extra care and bearing a high polish, were reserved for the Mint’s Cabinet of Coins Collection and sometimes used for special presentations. They were first offered for sale to the public in approximately 1858 and are produced under the authority of Section 5111 (a)(3), Title 31 of the United States Code.
Proof coins are a supplemental program of the United States Mint, produced at no net cost to the government, with profits deposited to the General Fund of the Treasury of the United States. Coin prices on this page were updated as of 3/10/02
