The 1961 United States Proof Set features five specially struck coins produced by the U.S. Mint for collectors, showcasing mirror-like fields and frosted design details. The set includes the Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, and Franklin half dollar, all dated 1961. Proof sets were reintroduced by the U.S. Mint in 1936 after a long hiatus, becoming a popular way for collectors to preserve annual examples of American coinage with enhanced finishes and carefully defined designs.
