| Complete 1983-1997 Prestige Collection Prestige Proof Sets represent the ultimate in U.S. coinage, and the pinnacle of the product line for The United States Mint. First produced in 1983, Prestige Proof Sets blended two popular Mint programs by combining the five coins from a regular Proof Set along with one or two modern commemorative coins issued during the same year. The set packaging was much more elaborate than that used for either of the included programs and thus provided a nice upgrade for collectors, giving them an attractive display for their coins. Prestige sets contain at least a silver commemorative dollar and sometimes a clad commemorative half dollar for that year, as well as a San Francisco Mint proof issue of the Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter and Kennedy halfdollar. The production of Prestige Proof Sets was suspended with the last issued being 1997. Each set is encased in a book-like case with leatherette cover and reinforced edging, and comes in a laminated box with a certificate of authenticity. No Prestige Proof Set was produced in 1985. This deal includes the following prestige sets: 1983-S 1984-S 1986-S 1987-S 1988-S 1989-S 1990-S 1991-S 1992-S 1993-S 1994-S 1995-S 1996-S 1997-S
