Coins - American Legacy Collection Proof Coins Sets

The US Mint offered beautifully packaged proof coins sets in 2005 through 2008 under their trademarked name, American Legacy Collection.

The Proof Coins Sets included proof versions of the commemorative and circulating coinage provided by the US Mint in each of those years.

The American Legacy Collection Proof Coins Sets were packaged in deluxe boxes that beautifully stored and displayed the coins behind clear protective lenses. In addition, each package was designed in black and silver and highlighted an American iconic symbol on the cover.

2005 - Lady Liberty in her flowing robes holds the torch of freedom high in her right hand and the tablet of American Independence in her left

2006 - The US Capitol building graces the front cover showing the easily recognizable cast iron dome with the Statue of Freedom on top

2007 - This set's front cover shows the White House from the viewpoint below the steps of the front portico looking up to the flag waving on high

2008 - The 2008 set's front design includes a large portion of a flag flowing in the breeze in silver on a black background

The US Mint's maximum population was 50,000 sets for each year of the American Legacy Collection Proof Coins Sets. But, as these sets re-enter the market, some coin dealers break the sets and sell the various coins separately. This makes the actual populations of the American Legacy Collection Proof Coins Sets difficult to determine.

2005 - The 13 coins included the Chief Justice John Marshall Commemorative Silver Dollar, Marine Corps Commemorative Silver Dollar, Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel with Bison reverse, Jefferson Nickel with "Ocean in View" reverse, Roosevelt Dime, California Quarter, Minnesota Quarter, Oregon Quarter, Kansas Quarter, West Virginia Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, Sacagawea Golden Dollar.

2006 - The 12 coins in this set were the Ben Franklin Founding Father Commemorative Silver Dollar, Old San Francisco Mint Commemorative Silver Dollar, Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Nevada Quarter, Nebraska Quarter, Colorado Quarter, North Dakota Quarter, South Dakota Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, Sacagawea Golden Dollar.

2007 - This year's set had 16 coins which were the Jamestown Commemorative Silver Dollar, Little Rock Desegregation Commemorative Silver Dollar, Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Montana Quarter, Washington Quarter, Idaho Quarter, Wyoming Quarter, Utah Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, Sacagawea Golden Dollar, George Washington Presidential Dollar, John Adams Presidential Dollar, Thomas Jefferson Presidential Dollar, James Madison Presidential Dollar

2008 - With only one commemorative coin, these 15 proof coins were the Bald Eagle Commemorative Silver Dollar, Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Oklahoma Quarter, New Mexico Quarter, Arizona Quarter, Alaska Quarter, Hawaii Quarter, Kennedy Half Dollar, Sacagawea Golden Dollar, James Monroe Presidential Dollar, John Quincy Adams Presidential Dollar, Andrew Jackson Presidential Dollar, Martin Van Buren Presidential Dollar

In April, the American Legacy Collection Proof Coins Sets were valued at the following purchase prices. (Remember, if you want to sell your sets, the number would be less than the market price.)

Of course, these values fluctuate with the supply and demand in the coin market and with the metals market due to the silver content in the commemorative dollars.
