2001 Proof Set

The first official mint set of the 21st century continued very much as the last century ended, with a 17-piece set containing 10 State Quarters (five each in Clad and Silver) plus the five other circulating coins and 90% silver versions of the Dime and Half Dollar. This would be the last year that the Kennedy Half was struck for circulation. Starting in 2002, they would be produced only for Proof and Mint Sets. Like the other sets from this period, PR-70 specimens are abundant, and achieving the maximum set rating of 71 (with bonuses) is most achievable.
