This set was issued by the Philadelphia Mint and contains proof versions of three of the four sizes of American Gold Eagle bullion coins issued in 1993 - minus the full ounce for which proofs were only struck by the West Point Mint in 1993. The coins in the set all have the Philadelphia Mint's P mint mark - unlike the respective bullion coins, which were also struck by the same mint but without a mint mark.
The set also contains an American Silver Eagle - the first set in the American Eagle range to have silver (all earlier ones only had gold Eagles), and a silver medal commemorating the Bicentenary (200th anniversary) of the first United States coinage - which was all struck by the Philadelphia Mint in 1793.
The set comes in a booklet-styled folder with a Certificate of Authenticity. The mintage of the coins in the sets is presumably included in the reported proof mintages for the year. |
