The US Mint, thanks to its annual coin programs such as the American Eagle and the American Buffalo, is one of the most recognizable coin programs in the world. The US Mint is also known for its annual collections of sets, meant for collectors. These proof sets are an affordable way to collect US coinage in proof condition. Proof sets first were issued in 1936 and have been struck by the San Francisco Mint since 1968. Now, you can own a 1970 US Mint Proof Set right here at JM Bullion.

The San Francisco Mint started striking coins with a “S” mint mark again in 1968. The same year, the mint started producing proof sets as well. While the mint primarily was focused on proof coinage at this time, they continued striking supplemental circulation coinage from 1968 until 1974. Since 1975, the San Francisco Mint has been primarily focused on just proof strikes.
