1990 United States Proof Set

The 1990 United States Proof Set is a collection of five commemorative coins minted with a special sharp and detailed finish by the U.S. Mint in 1990. Here's a breakdown of what you might expect:

**What's Included:**

* One proof version of each circulating U.S. coin denomination minted in 1990:
* Lincoln Cent
* Jefferson Nickel
* Roosevelt Dime (copper-nickel clad)
* Washington Quarter (copper-nickel clad)
* Kennedy Half Dollar (copper-nickel clad)

**Mintage:**

The 1990 Proof Set was produced in relatively high numbers compared to some other years. There's no definitive number, but estimates range from 4 to 5 million sets.

**Condition:**

* Proof Sets are sold by the Mint and often by coin dealers in original packaging, which can be a plastic holder inserted in a cardboard box. The packaging may vary depending on the seller.

**Value:**

Due to the high mintage, 1990 Proof Sets are generally affordable for collectors. Their typical value falls between $8.49 and $19.05, depending on the condition and seller.

Here are some additional factors that can affect the value:

* **Original Packaging (OGP):** Sets in original U.S. Mint packaging tend to be more valuable than those that have been removed.
* **Set Grading:** Some coin grading services offer grades for Proof Sets based on the condition of the coins and packaging. A certified and graded set may have a higher value.
* **Mint Errors:** If a set contains a coin with a mint error (such as a doubling or missing element), its value could be significantly higher. However, genuine mint errors are uncommon.
